Rachmaninoff (arr. Jurowski) 10 Songs
Rachmaninoff Symphony No. 3
Vladimir Jurowski conductor
Vsevolod Grivnov tenor
London Philharmonic Orchestra
A deep sadness colours Rachmaninoff’s third and final symphony. For music journalist Robert Angles, it stemmed from ‘the grief of a deeply patriotic man forcibly separated from the land of his birth’. In 1935 Rachmaninoff knew he’d never return to Russia, but still his Symphony finds moments of dignity and optimism, of brilliance and vitality. Here it forms an appropriate ‘farewell’ to Rachmaninoff following our season-long exploration of his music. Vladimir Jurowski precedes the Symphony with Yuri Butsko's arrangements of some of the composer's scintillating piano works and a selection of Jurowski's grandfather’s own orchestrations of ten of Rachmaninoff’s most touching songs.
In co-operation with the Serge Rachmaninoff Foundation.
