Walker: Lyric for Strings 
Shostakovich: Symphony No. 9 
Brahms: Piano Concerto No. 2

"Walker's Lyric for Strings is a poignant elegy of surpassing beauty. Shostakovich's Ninth Symphony delights with it's light-hearted spirit and colorful orchestration. Finally, our souls will surely soar as Van Cliburn Gold-Medalist Jon Nakamatsu joins the BPO for Brahms' epic Piano Concerto No. 2." [George Walker (b. 1922) is profiled at AfriClassical.com, where a complete Works List by Dr. Dominique-René de Lerma can be found.]
