Marquee TV: Rachmaninov’s Second Symphony

The music

• Rachmaninov Symphony No. 2 (60’)

The performers

• Karina Canellakis conductor*

The ultimate romantic symphony? Look no further than Rachmaninov's Second.

Storm-swept vistas, glowing colours, and melodies that sing straight from the heart … if you had to imagine the perfect Romantic orchestral work, it’d probably sound very like Rachmaninov’s epic Second Symphony. LPO Principal Guest Conductor Karina Canellakis dives into its sweeping drama and unforgettable lyricism, bringing every note of this evergreen masterpiece vividly to life.

*Karina Canellakis’s position in the LPO is generously supported by Richard Buxton.

This performance is dedicated to the memory of the late Pehr G Gyllenhammar, Chairman, London Philharmonic Trust (2006-11).

_{New release coming to Marquee TV on 3 April 2026. The concert will be free to stream for 48 hours and will then be added to the LPO catalogue, available to Marquee TV subscribers.}
