Tue 23 Sep 7:30pm at Symphony Hall
Andris Nelsons
For his second programme as music director, Andris Nelsons has chosen another grand romantic symphony – Rachmaninov’s sweeping, passionate second, which the composer premiered exactly a century ago in 1908. In the first half, the brilliant young Macedonian pianist Simon Trpceski will join the Orchestra for Saint-Saëns’ most popular concerto, and the concert begins with another French favourite, Debussy’s sensuous miniature ballet.
Pre concert talk 6.15pm – The Players’ Perspective – Rachmaninov’s Second Violinist David Gregory and fellow CBSO musicians present an insider’s angle on Rachmaninov’s best-loved symphony.
