Prokofievrsquos rich and colorful Fifth Symphony which concludes the afternoon premiered in the winter of 1945 ldquoIt provides a sonicexperience of variety and contrast for both players and audience ldquo Eckerling said adding ldquoI cannot think of anything that thrills memore than the ending of this symphony Yes this was written during World War II but we shouldnrsquot think of that so much as thewords of the composer who said his work was lsquoabout the grandeur of the human spiritrsquo rdquo
Set in the middle of the program is Rachmaninoffrsquos popular ldquoRhapsody on a Theme of Paganinirdquo ldquoPeople are familiar with the 18thVariationrdquo said Eckerling ldquobut there are actually 24 variationsrdquo Some run together he explained but they can more or less bedivided into three sections mdash fast slow fast
