Date of change: 4 Jun 15 - T1925940214

Prom 70 - Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov & Rimsky-Korsakov

Work:: Prom 70 (S6008)

Part of the BBC Proms.

Production:: Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov & Rimsky-Korsakov (T1925940214)

Just over a decade since their most recent visit, the St Petersburg Philharmonic and its renowned Artistic Director and Chief Conductor, Yuri Temirkanov, return to the Proms with a homegrown programme of Russian greats. Pianist Nikolai Lugansky is the soloist in Rachmaninov's most famous work, the Second Piano Concerto, with its lyrical slow movement and brilliant, virtuosic finale. Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade dissolves the magic and colour of the tales of the Thousand and One Nights into a glittering musical tapestry that the composer himself described as 'an oriental narrative of fairy-tale wonders'. Tchaikovsky's swirling tone-poem of doomed lovers opens the programme. Finish time approx. 21:55
