Rachmaninov Symphony No2


Britten Passacaglia from Peter Grines
Shostakovich Cello Comverto No1
Rachmaninov Symphony No2

Thomas Søndergård Conductor
Aleksei Kiseliov Cello
Royal Scottish National Orchestra


Is Rachmaninov’s Second the most romantic symphony ever written? With its vast, storm-swept vistas, endless melodies and rapturous love-song of a slow movement, it’s definitely a contender. Thomas Søndergård conducts it with unbridled emotion – the climax of a concert that begins with Shostakovich and Britten at their darkest. Britten’s windswept Passacaglia sets a powerful mood before the RSNO’s own Aleksei Kiseliov explores the tense, action-packed world of Shostakovich’s gripping First Cello Concerto.
