London Philharmonic Orchestra

RACHMANINOFF (arr.Dumbraveanu) Variations on a Theme of Corelli RACHMANINOFF Piano Concerto 4 (revised version) RACHMANINOFF Symphony 1 NEEME JARVI conductor ALEXEI LUBIMOV piano On 15 March 1897, the young Serge Rachmaninoff introduced his First Symphony in St Petersburg. He listened from the staircase outside as his unique musical ideas were despatched by a poorly prepared orchestra, bracing himself for a critical onslaught. Exactly thirty years later, now a worldwide celebrity, Rachmaninoff strode into a Philadelphia concert hall to hear the first performance of his masterful final Piano Concerto. No other compositional career has so mirrored the 20th century's cultural journey as Rachmaninoff's and no other man's music has proved so popular, borderless and fervent a vision of twentieth century Romanticism.
