A Romantic night in with Rachmaninov

Wednesday, June 29th, 2011

A balmy June evening saw the Brunel Sinfonia perform to a good audience with their second performance of Rach 2. As far as symphonies go, this is as romantic as it gets, and it was an excellent performance from the orchestra. The Glinka provided a lively opening to the evening which was followed by a master class in fiddle playing from Roger Huckle, who mesmerised us with his performance of the Sibelius Violin Concerto. The general feeling amongst the players was one of happiness, as this was a much improved performance of the Rach then when we attempted it back in 2007.

So join us in November for a bit of Elgar, Bruch and Wagner!
