SCHOENBERG AND RACHMANINOV with Jeneba Kanneh-Mason- 7pm at Dorchester Abbey
Written in 1902–1903, Arnold Schoenberg's Pelleas und Melisande is a massive, highly complex symphonic poem.
Rachmaninov’s Vocalise is a gorgeously melancholic wordless song originally written for high voice and piano.
Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No 2 in C minor is a towering masterpiece of the Romantic era. Premiered in 1901 with the composer himself as the soloist, it is a deeply emotional work of lush harmonies, sweeping lyricism, and sweeping virtuosity.
