Following last night鈥檚 Prokofiev piano concerto cycle, tonight鈥檚 Prom opens with the Russian鈥檚 bright and joyous 鈥楥lassical鈥� Symphony, which surprised critics of the young firebrand composer with its formal elegance. It鈥檚 paired with Rachmaninov鈥檚 Second Symphony 鈥� beloved for its intimate, lyrical slow movement. Rachmaninov might be the original composer of the 鈥榖ig tune鈥�, but it鈥檚 an instinct China鈥檚 Qigang Chen 鈥� a pupil of Messiaen 鈥� shares. East and West come together for his evocative Iris d茅voil茅e, pairing traditional Chinese instruments with Western harmonies.
