Royal Liverpool Philharmonic OrchestraPresented by Saffron Hall
Elgar’s concerto and Rachmaninoff’s dance suite are their last completed works, yet both are filled with a vital, irresistible life force, overflowing with vitality, as if reluctant to take their leave.
They are both infused with an exquisite nostalgia, the Elgar from an England – and a world – changed forever by the cataclysm of the Great War, Rachmaninoff writing in American exile, torn from his Russian roots, unable to return or forget. With memorable melodies, rhythmic drive, and a sumptuous orchestral sound, these masterpieces are a powerful pairing of enormous cumulative power. Wagner’s exuberant operatic prelude opens the concert with a flourish.
