Presented by Ian Skelly

Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninov took six months to craft his Symphony No 2, and conducted its first performance in St. Petersburg's Mariinsky Theatre in January 1908. He must have been relieved because the premiere of his first symphony, directed by fellow-composer Alexander Glazunov, was such a disaster that it drove its young composer into a deep despair.

Pianist Stephen Hough performs Rachmaninov's Concerto No 2, again with the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra, in Thursday's programme. We feature him every day this week, today with a sublime transcription of Franck's Choral No 3 for organ.
