Rachmaninov's 2nd Symphony from Prague

This week's series of recordings of music by Chopin and others from Perth in Scotland culminates today with some of Chopin's music evoking the night, alongside music in a similar vein by Robert Schumann and Manuel de Falla. Radio 3 New Generation Artist, the tenor Santiago Sanchez presents his interpretations of classic songs by Mozart; and the week-long theme featuring performances of music inspired by the ancient religious expression of plainsong concludes with specially made recordings from Austria and Prague of masterpieces by Johann Sebastian Bach and Sergei Rachmaninov. Presented by Mark Forrest.
