Part of the BBC Proms. If the first-night audience was hostile to the 23-year-old Rachmaninov's First Symphony, history has been far kinder, embracing its ability to reimagine Russian musical tradition. John Storgards and the BBC Philharmonic are joined by mezzo-soprano Dame Sarah Connolly for turn-of-the-century songs by Alma Mahler-Werfel and Croatia's Dora Pejacevic, and the curtain rises with the overture to Weber's Grand Romantic and Fairy Opera, written for London's Covent Garden.
