Concluding the Philharmonia's Rachmaninov Cycle, Nikolai Lugansky brings his virtuosity and impeccable musicianship to bear on Rachmaninov's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. At times dazzlingly virtuosic, at others eerily pensive, and moving between every mood in between, this piece is one of Rachmaninov's finest. High spirits also abound in Shostakovich's Sixth Symphony - the composer wrote of the work that 'music of a contemplative, lyrical nature predominates; I wished to convey moods of joy, spring and youth'.
