Summary
Pianist Alexei Volodin joins conductor Kahchun Wong and The Hallé at The Bridgewater Hall for Rachmaninov’s Paganini Rhapsody followed by Mahler’s Symphony No. 5.
Why it's fantastic
Expect to recognize the Eighteenth Variation, a soaring romantic melody that has become a staple of cinema and television. It provides a lyrical contrast to the symphony that follows, which begins with a lonely trumpet call and travels through a famous, heart-aching movement written as a love letter to the composer’s wife.
