Andris Nelsons conducts Rachmaninoff. Les illuminations, op. 18

Description

Latvian conductor Andris Nelsons made his first appearance with the RCO to great acclaim in 2008 and has returned regularly ever since. The soloist is the celebrated tenor Ian Bostridge, who is sure to shine brightly in the exceptionally beautiful Les illuminations by BRITTEN, who was born 100 years ago. Britten's work makes for a fascinating contrast with the Slavic energy of RACHMANINOFF's Symphonic Dances. Also on the programm Claude DEBUSSY's Six épigraphes antiques.
