Savor the effects of a love potion that leaves you (and Tristan & Isolde) with an unquenchable yearning for more! The seduction begins with the story of two devoted lovers, driven by desire and eternally united.
Next, husband and wife duo Jaime Laredo and Sharon Robinson complete the perfect marriage of violin and cello with orchestra in this piece by Miklos Rozsa, composer of the Ben-Hur film score. Then, in his second symphony, Beethoven successfully joins witty playfulness with sublime elegance — a refreshing combination!
