Mussorgsky: Pictures at and Exhibition; Khachaturian: Spartacus Suite; Kabalevsky: Overture – ‘Colas Breugnon’; Shchedrin: ‘Naughty Limericks’ Concerto for Orchestra No.1; Rachmaninov: ‘Zdes’Khorosho op.21/7 (arr. Timothy Jackson)

Vasily Petrenko and the award-winning Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra present a program of Russian orchestral classics. Ravel's brilliant orchestration of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition and Khachaturian's sumptuously romantic suite from his ballet Spartacus keep company with Kabalevsky's fizzing overture to his opera Colas Breugnon, Schehedrin's 'Naughty Limericks' and a beautiful orchestral arrangement of Rachmaninov's wistful Zdes' Khorosho.
