Halle, Asbury - Rachmaninov and Prokofiev
Presented by Tom McKinney. Stefan Asbury conducts the Halle orchestra in excerpts from Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet and Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No 3 (with Nelson Goerner).
Live from Manchester's Bridgewater Hall.
Tom McKinney presents two classics of the Russian orchestral repertoire, performed by the Hall茅 Orchestra, conducted by Stefan Asbury. Rachmaninov's 3rd Piano Concerto was his own personal favourite, but it's a virtuoso showpiece whose fearsome technical demands place it beyond the reach of all but the most dazzlingly accomplished players. After the interval, one of Prokofiev's most popular ballet scores.
