Innovation may arrive in many forms, be it harmonic/melodic as in Dvořák’s popular Symphony No. 8 in G Major, in technique as in Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto, or in nationalistic style as Denmark’s leading composer Carl Nielsen evokes in Aladdin. The internationally-celebrated Korean pianist Kun Woo Paik lends his passion and virtuosity to one of the most challenging piano concerti written. Inspired by Bohemian folk theme’s Dvořák’s lively and triumphant Symphony No. 8 brings hummably-familiar joy to the end of a great orchestral program.
