After Rachmaninoff left Russia for exile in America he poured all his nostalgia – and hope - into his soaring, bittersweet Third Symphony. No-one conducts this music with more flair than John Wilson: add Gershwin at his most tuneful and violinist Ning Feng in the sumptuous violin concerto by the composer they called “the Russian Mendelssohn”, and…well, this could get emotional.
