'Symphony No. 2 in E minor', Rachmaninov
Performance NotesThe ultimate Romantic symphony, Rachmaninov’s Second has it all: heart-on- sleeve emotions, endless melodies, a slow- movement whose two rival themes eventually find themselves locked in a passionate embrace and a radiant finale.

The BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and Principal Guest Conductor Designate Delyana Lazarova are joined by former BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist and ‘unrivalled musician’ Anastasia Kobekina for Shostakovich’s supremely demanding Cello Concerto No. 1.

The Prom opens with dawn breaking on a spring morning in Lili Boulanger’s vivid tone-poem D’un matin de printemps.
