BBC Proms: Rachmaninov’s Second
Royal Albert Hall, SW7 2AP , [Venue Details]Rachmaninov’s hard-won Symphony No. 2 – a profoundly personal triumph forged in the failure of his First Symphony over a decade earlier – is the centrepiece of this concert by Manchester’s Hallé orchestra and its Principal Conductor Kahchun Wong.
Its expansive, late-Romantic lyricism meets the glowing, pealing soundscape of Ravel’s ‘The Valley of the Bells’ from his Miroirs, orchestrated by Colin Matthews.
Pianist Alexandra Dariescu makes her Proms debut in Nadia Boulanger’s boldly poetic 1912 Fantasy for piano and orchestra, with its eclectic nods to Franck, Fauré and Stravinsky.
Programme
Ravel, orch. Colin Matthews - La vallée des cloches 6’
N. Boulanger - Fantasy for piano and orchestra 20’
Interval
Rachmaninov - Symphony No. 2 in E minor 60’
