The spirit of Russia permeated everything Rachmaninoff wrote, even after his final exile to
America. There, in 1940, the composer composed his last orchestral score, the Symphonic Dances. A strange sense of foreboding pervades these compelling orchestral choreographies, but there’s optimism, too: in the last dance, against a baleful quotation from the death-themed plainchant Dies Irae, Rachmaninoff quotes the striving ‘Alleluia’ from his own All-Night Vigil.
Rachmaninoff wasn’t about to let the forces of death win through, but he appears a long way
here from the 17-year-old student who, in a period of total inspiration one summer, wrote
a dashing, impassioned First Piano Concerto full of the joys of youth.
In co-operation with the Serge Rachmaninoff Foundation.
