All great works of art are forged in passion, and the best of them touch us deeply and
memorably. Dvorak’s love for his homeland and culture brought us his astonishing
Symphony #7, steeped in the colours and rhythms of the Czechs. Brahms lived a life of
great desires, thwarted and rewarded, whose dramas are echoed in one of his greatest
masterworks, the Violin Concerto (performed by the incredible Scott St. John). Canadian
Brian Current’s “Symphonies in Slanted Time” evokes the passionate energies of youth and play.
