Chicago Symphony Orchestra: Canellakis Conducts Rachmaninov

Earth, in all its marvelous vitality and fragility, has inspired generations of composers.

Earth, in all its marvelous vitality and fragility, has inspired generations of composers. In The Oceanides, Sibelius conjures the water nymphs of Greek mythology and the broad majesty of the sea. Dvorák’s The Wild Dove is based on a dark folktale about a dove’s prophetic song. Childhood memories shape Rachmaninov’s Symphonic Dances, his sumptuous masterpiece.
