Like composers Bartok and Dvořák before him, Carlos Simon explores the orchestration of cultural folk dances in Four Black American Dances, and the LPO’s own Alex Mayon is the featured soloist on Hadyn’s Trumpet Concerto, a favorite from the instrument’s repertoire. Concluding the program is late-Romantic composer Rachmaninoff’s triumphant and emotional second symphony
