The heart-felt lyricism of Rachmaninov's Third Piano Concerto contains some of his most personal feelings into which he poured an inexhaustible stream of melody. Collaborating for the first time with Welsh pianist Llyr Williams, Thomas S酶nderg氓rd conducts it alongside the powerful drama of Nielsen's Fifth Symphony: a cosmic struggle from which arises music of superhuman regenerative energy and power.
