Alan Gilbert conducts this performance from 2015, which includes Anatoly Lyadov’s depiction of a picturesque forest, The Enchanted Lake, followed by the Stravinsky’s original 1911 orchestration of the ballet Petrushka. Violinist Leila Josefowicz is the soloist in the world premiere of Scheherazade.2 by John Adams, a dramatic symphony composed with the strength of women in mind.
