FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE, SERGEI RACHMANINOFF

Hear the story of the last of the great Romantics, a selection of his magnificent Preludes for piano from Op. 23 and Op. 32 and the musings of Russia's celebrated writers and poets - Pushkin, Chekhov, Pasternak and Dostoevsky in this memorable recital of great words and music.

The packed auditorium was absolutely still and silent as she took us into another world - the Russia of Rachmaninoff’s youth, his life and his music. She put us into a kind of collective trance, giving us precious and intimate glimpses into the soul of Rachmaninoff’s music, and the man himself.
