RSNO: RACH-FEST! Rachmaninov: The Italian Connection

Glasgow Royal Concert Hall : Main Auditorium

 Please Note: This is a past event event.

Don't worry we have plenty more current events to choose from.

Whilst Tchaikovsky was inspired by the vitality of Italian life and folk song when on holiday in Rome, Respighi portrayed the mighty ancient Romans in his tour de force tone poem. Arensky used a Tchaikovsky melody for his popular Variations and the ubiquitous theme by Italian musician Paganini was used perhaps most famously by Rachmaninov, in his incredible, virtuosic Rhapsody.
