In this season of commemoration, we complete our Naxos CD project with Fetler’s Bicentennial evocation of the yearning for innocence in times of war. Louis Nagel brings to life the raw intensity and rich sound of Ravel’s neoclassical piano tour de force. Finally, your A²SO rounds out the concert with Dvořák’s cheery homage to his Bohemian roots.
