“Do what the composer did, not what he wrote,” so said veteran American pianist Garrick Ohlsson of Rachmaninov. The famous fate-laden opening of Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No. 2 here is only the beginning of the sweeping Romanticism and dazzling flair of two back-to-back Rachmaninov programmes led by Singapore Symphony Music Director Hans Graf. Be prepared for a tear-inducing journey of heartfelt emotion – this is the music that brought Rachmaninov out of despair and into immortal fame.
