In the hands of Romantics like Verdi, Bruckner and Brahms, music became increasingly expressive, harmonically inventive, passionate and theatrical. During the twentieth century, composers like Edward Elgar, Amy Beach, Sergei Rachmaninoff and Samuel Barber resisted the atonality and serialism embraced by their contemporaries and continued to explore the rich extremes of lush romantic harmony. Today, as then, composers like Michael Trotta delight audiences with music that has more in common with romantic idioms than with modernist trends. Together, these “Greater Romantics” provide us with a program that runs the gamut from emotionally-charged to blissfully peaceful.
