About This Event

Rachmaninov worked closely with The Philadelphia Orchestra, captivated by its famously beautiful sound. So his eerie tone-poem The Isle of the Dead is part of the Philadelphia tradition, as well as a marvellously atmospheric upbeat to a pair of Romantic violin showpieces from 19th-century France. No-one plays them with more panache than former Â鶹ԼÅÄ Radio 3 New Generation Artist Lisa Batiashvili. And then comes the first Proms performance of the impassioned First Symphony by the African American composer Florence Price. ‘Nézet-Séguin and his Philadelphia Orchestra are body and soul into the joy and resolve of this music,’ wrote Gramophone magazine of their recent, Grammy-nominated recording.
