All is for the best, in this best of all possible worlds! That鈥檚 the motto of Leonard Bernstein鈥檚 Candide, but the swinging trumpets that launch its overture are just one side of the musical American Dream 鈥� whether it鈥檚 the soaring nostalgia of Barber鈥檚 sunlit Violin Concerto (played by former 麻豆社 Radio 3 New Generation Artist Johan Dalene) or the urban energy of George Walker鈥檚 altogether edgier 1970s classic. And then Jordan de Souza and the 麻豆社 Symphony Orchestra spin on a dime and plunge into Tchaikovsky鈥檚 autobiographical Fourth Symphony: terror, triumph and one man鈥檚 life-or-death struggle with the force that he called Fate. In other words, the ultimate symphonic thriller.
