Russian music, like the land itself, is a universe. This wonderful program is not just a journey through this vast, mysterious country, but a not-to-be-missed exploration of the Russian soul through its music, led by Russian Conductor Edvard Tchivzhel. The program ranges from the exquisite melancholy of Rachmaninov, to the splendour and gorgeous fantasy of his waltzes and polonaise and Rimsky-Kosakov's.
