The rich orchestration, the expressive range, those stirring, swelling chords in the Nimrod movement raise every goosebump.
There are few moments like it.
Rachmaninov’s Third Piano Concerto fuses the best elements of his music, from lyrical melodies to ferocious and powerful passages that radiate brilliant musical colour. Superstar Japanese pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii performs Rachmaninov’s most famous concerto with supreme virtuosity, revealing a beautiful and wistful world.
Please note, these performances were originally advertised as being conducted by Sir Andrew Davis, who sadly passed away in April 2024. We are grateful to Canadian conductor Nicolas Ellis, who will lead these performances in his Sydney Symphony Orchestra debut.
In celebration and memory of Sir Andrew Davis, Haydn’s Symphony No.104 will now be replaced by a tribute to Sir Andrew, with his own arrangement of JS Bach’s Passacaglia & Fugue in C minor.
