大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra: Hough plays Rachmaninov

Stephen Hough and the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra perform Rachmaninov's timelessly romantic Piano Concerto No 2.

Stephen Hough and the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra perform Rachmaninov's timelessly romantic Piano Concerto No 2.

Presented by Ian Skelly

Arguably the best-loved composition of the twentieth century, the wartime movie Brief Encounter brought its hauntingly beautiful slow movement to a worldwide audience. It is played by polymath Stephen Hough - pianist, composer, painter, writer - who shares a recording he finds especially inspiring.
