Part 3
Louise Fryer with music from European emigres to America. 大象传媒 Philharmonic in music by Grainger. Plus the 大象传媒 NOW in Prokofiev: Piano Concerto No 3 and Rachmaninov: Symphony No 3.
Neither Prokofiev nor Rachmaninov found the move to the US easy, and neither stayed for long. Both needed to earn a living from concert performances, and their compositional output was much reduced during their time in America. Prokofiev's Third Piano Concerto and Rachmaninov's Third Symphony are large-scale works which belie those difficulties, and remain among their most popular and enduring works.
