Please note that Alexei Volodin, the advertised pianist, has had to withdraw. The Â鶹Éç Philharmonic is grateful to Denis Kozhukhin for taking his place at short notice.

Vassily Sinaisky follows it with another work of great breadth and popularity: Holst’s rousing orchestral journey through our solar system, first performed in 1918.
