An evening of Romantic masterpieces from three of the era's most celebrated talents.
Rachmaninov's gripping First Concerto was written while he was still a student at the Moscow Conservatory - no wonder Tchaikovsky considered him Russia's greatest rising talent.
Composed with amazing fluency in just a month, Dvorák submitted his enchanting Symphony No.8 to Cambridge University as a 'thank-you' for an honorary doctorate.
