BBC Proms S68 E61 Prom 61: Rachmaninov, Glinka & Zhou Long

The Singapore Symphony Orchestra makes its Proms debut, bringing Pulitzer Prize-winning Chinese composer Zhou Long’s piano concerto Postures – a work fusing Western forms and Eastern memories. The concert opens with the overture to Glinka’s fairy-tale opera Ruslan and Lyudmila, and closes with Rachmaninov’s ever-popular Second Symphony.
