Rachmaninoff at the Proms
Sergei Rachmaninoff's first symphony had a disastrous premiere. The critics hated it. Even Rachmaninoff decided he didn't like it. It was never played again during his life. But the piece has been resurrected, and it received a sizzling performance last month at the Proms in London. We'll take you there today on PT.
