In July 1984 the Cuban virtuoso pianist, Jorge Bolet , spent a week studying one of the most well-known concertos in the piano repertoire, Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No 2. In a series of five programmes, through masterclasses, discussions and rehearsals with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Paavo Berglund , Jorge Bolet illuminates a concerto which all music lovers think they know backwards. Bolet tells them what they don't know! Kathryn Stott and Makoto Ueno are the pianists in a masterclass dedicated to the first movement of the concerto.
