Performer: Zlatomir Fung

A young cellist impresses in Haydn's C major concerto, but the same key in Schumann's Second Symphony exposes weaknesses in the conductor's approach.

Madaras and the LPO rise above the routine in Tchaikovsky's Fifth Symphony, with an engaging performance of the Rococo Variations from Zlatomir Fung.

Tchaikovsky Gold Medallist Zlatamoir Fung also makes his Kansas City debut playing the Rococo Variations.
