Summary
Pianist John Thwaites and string players from the CBSO perform Rachmaninoff’s first Piano Trio alongside Lyapunov’s Piano Sextet at the CBSO Centre in Birmingham.
Why it's fantastic
Experience the moody, heart-on-sleeve lyricism of a teenage Rachmaninoff during this focused hour of chamber music. The programme pairs his brooding trio with Lyapunov’s lush sextet, offering a rare chance to hear the double bass add an unusually rich, orchestral depth to the traditional string sound.
