|  Tchaikovsky ‘Hamlet’ Fantasy OvertureRachmaninovPiano Concerto No.2 Rimsky-Korsakov ‘Scheherazade’ In a programme of romantic Russian music, what could be more romantic than this lovely concerto, familar even to non-classical music lovers through its use in the classic film “Brief Encounter”? Before that,”Hamlet” captures the many moods of the Bard’s great play. In Rimsky-Korsakov’s colourful suite, based on the age-old “Tales of 1001 Nights”, the solo violin represents Scheherazade as she tells a series of enthralling stories that will spare her life. |
