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.

Presented by Tom McKinney, live from the Royal Albert Hall, London

First broadcast:  9 August 2023
