RACHMANINOV Symphony No. 2

After his critically acclaimed run with the Royal Ballet earlier this year, Jonathan Lo returns to the Bardi to conduct a concert born in the Hollywood hills. The first half heralds the Golden Age of Cinema with Max Steiner's ground-breaking score to Casablanca. The father of the film score, Erich Korngold's Violin Concerto is a perfect blend of action-packed movie themes and virtuosic solo writing, and is performed by Zoë Beyers, leader of the BBC Philharmonic.

Rachmaninov (who also moved to Hollywood late in life) wrote his grand Second Symphony at the most successful time in his career and it is one of his most popular works, full of drama and emotion worthy of any film score.
