About the event 'The Great Classics: Scheherazade'

Josep Caballé-Domenech conducts pianist John Lill and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in a performance of truly "Great Classics" at London's famous Royal Albert Hall.

A rousing Rossini opening is followed by two great classics of the Russian repertoire, with the legendary John Lill taking to the piano in the most celebrated of Rachmaninov’s four keyboard concertos. The work is supremely confident and exudes a lush romanticism that subsequently counterpointed the railway station romance of the 1945 tear-jerker "Brief Encounter". 



Rimsky-Korsakov displays his orchestral wizardry in the ever-popular "Scheherazade". Based upon episodes from "The Arabian Nights", this thrilling music conjures up the drama, passion and adventure of those timeless tales, and is still regarded as one of the world’s greatest orchestral showpieces.
