Hungarian Radio Symphony Orchestra: Jeneba Kanneh-Mason plays Rachmaninov

Kodaly Dances from Galanta Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No 2 in C minor Liszt Mephisto Waltz Beethoven Symphony No 3 in E flat major of 53 ‘Eroica’

Jeneba Kanneh-Mason, piano Riccardo Frizza, conductor

Famous for its use in Brief Encounter Rachmaninov’s second piano concerto is the epitome of heart on the sleeve emotion. Played by the brilliant Jeneba Kanneh-Mason it will be a smash. It is framed by Kodaly’s thrilling 'Galanta Dances' with their exuberant Hungarian rhythms and Beethoven’s extraordinary ‘Eroica’ which dwarfed all previous symphonies and, with its haunting funeral march and startling scherzo opened the way for the romantic symphonies of the 19th century to follow.
