With luscious shifting harmonies and the rhythmic vitality characteristic of his later style, Rachmaninov’s final complete composition, his Symphonic Dances, uses motifs derived from Russian Church music alongside quotes from his own first symphony, creating a stirring mix of nostalgia versus the big city bustle and driving energy of ‘Modern America’.

From the unmistakeable introduction to the original quality of its writing, it’s easy to understand why Grieg’s Piano Concerto is considered such a masterpiece; with a dazzling layer of virtuosity and a solid Norwegian identity, the composer’s strong affinity with folk songs is evident in both this and the Holberg Suite.
