PROKOFIEV Classical Symphony RACHMANINOFF Piano Concerto 2 TCHAIKOVSKY Symphony 5 ALEXANDER VEDERNIKOV conductor PIERS LANE piano Whilst music is ofter profound, historic, epoch-making and partisan, some works become favourites simply for their unadulterated beauty and warmth. Such a piece is Rachmaninoff's Second Piano Concerto. It may be many things to many people, but its effect was captured in one now-immortal description. 'Every time I hear it, I go to pieces' says Marilyn Monroe's character in The Seven Year Itch. 'It shakes me, it quakes me. It makes me feel goose-pimply all over. I don't know where I am or who I am or what I'm doing. Don't stop. Don't ever stop!' London Philharmonic Orchestra website.
