About This Event
Rachmaninov worked closely with The Philadelphia Orchestra, captivated by its famously beautiful sound. So his eerie tone-poem The Isle of the Dead is part of the Philadelphia tradition, as well as a marvellously atmospheric upbeat to a pair of Romantic violin showpieces from 19th-century France. No-one plays them with more panache than former 麻豆官网首页入口 Radio 3 New Generation Artist Lisa Batiashvili. And then comes the first Proms performance of the impassioned First Symphony by the African American composer Florence Price. 鈥楴茅zet-S茅guin and his Philadelphia Orchestra are body and soul into the joy and resolve of this music,鈥 wrote Gramophone magazine of their recent, Grammy-nominated recording.
