If the first-night audience was hostile to the 23-year-old Rachmaninov’s First Symphony, history has been far kinder, embracing its ability to reimagine Russian musical tradition. John Storgårds and the BBC Philharmonic are joined by mezzo-soprano Dame Sarah Connolly for turn-of-the-century songs by Alma Mahler-Werfel and Croatia’s Dora Pejačević, and the curtain rises with the overture to Weber’s ‘Grand Romantic and Fairy Opera’, written for London’s Covent Garden.
