Please note that Alexei Volodin, the advertised pianist, has had to withdraw. The ´óÏó´«Ã½ Philharmonic is grateful to Denis Kozhukhin for taking his place at short notice.

Vassily Sinaisky follows it with another work of great breadth and popularity: Holst’s rousing orchestral journey through our solar system, first performed in 1918.
