Though best known for his film scores, John Williams is also among the most prolific concerto composers of our time.

His Trumpet Concerto brilliantly showcases this dazzling instrument, performed here by virtuoso Matilda Lloyd. The suite from Far and Away creates a bridge with European traditions, drawing on Irish musical colours.

Like Williams’s music, Rachmaninoff’s Symphony No. 2 features a language that moves listeners instantly, with long, memorable melodies and profound romantic nostalgia. Considered the composer’s masterpiece, it stands among the last great symphonies of late Romanticism, achieving a remarkable balance between accessibility, expressive richness and musical complexity
