About this Concert
Sergei Rachmaninov was born in imperial Russia, but he died in Beverly Hills, and his Symphonic Dances fuse the melancholy of exile with the rhythm, the glamour and the sheer verve of the jazz-age USA. Dream ballet? Showpiece for orchestra? Or simply the most personal symphony Rachmaninov never wrote? However you hear them, guest conductor Teresa Riveiro B枚hm has made them the climax of a concert filled with powerful voices and dark poetry. Gra偶yna Bacewicz鈥檚 Overture gets things off to an electrifying start. Then 成人论坛 Radio 3 New Generation Artist Johanna Wallroth turns the leaves of the Richard Strauss songbook: miniature worlds of tenderness, melody and romance, perfectly suited to what one critic called the 鈥減ure magic鈥 of her voice.
This concert ends at approximately 3:40 pm
