Overview
A candlelit piano recital of works by Sergei Rachmaninov, given at St Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh by the pianists Warren Mailley-Smith and Ashley Fripp.
Candlelight recitals of Rachmaninov's piano music take place at St Giles'Cathedral on the High Street, a building that serves as a place of worship and mainly hosts concerts. The pianists Warren Mailley-Smith and Ashley Fripp each present a different programme, so the repertoire depends on which performer is at the piano.
The programmes include Rachmaninov's Piano Sonata No. 2 in its revised version, a selection of his Preludes, Op. 23, and the Prelude in C-sharp minor, Op. 3 No. 2. One programme presents the complete Op. 23 Preludes. Other pieces are Tchaikovsky's October from The Seasons and Rachmaninov's arrangement of Rimsky-Korsakov's Flight of the Bumblebee.
Sergei Rachmaninov (1873–1943) was a Russian composer and pianist, and his works for piano form the core of the evening.
