Tangazo is a dreamy, sensuous example of Piazzolla’s signature tango nuevo style. Robert Schumann’s first symphony is buoyant and optimistic, containing some of the most joyous music the composer ever wrote. Arthur Gottschalk’s 50th anniversary commission is a rhapsody in the vein of Gershwin and Milhaud, written for alumnus Milton Rubén Laufer.

About Arthur Gottschalk’s 50th Anniversary Commission
Tombeaux is a one-movement chamber concerto composed for alumnus Milton Rubén Laufer, now head of the School of Music at Carnegie Mellon University. “In celebration of the recent centennials of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue and Milhaud’s La Création du Monde, I sought to combine aspects of both works into a showcase for Laufer’s virtuosity and musicality,” says Arthur Gottschalk.
