Live from the Royal Albert Hall in London.

Rimsky-Korsakov's virtuosic selection of "Spanish" dances is followed by rather more authentic impressions of Andalusian life from Falla in his only concerto-like piece for piano and orchestra. And in Rachmaninov's symphonic cantata, Edgar Allan Poe's texts are permeated with tolling resonances that hark back to imperial Russia.

Pierre-Laurent Aimard (piano), Irina Mataeva (soprano), Daniil Shtoda (tenor), William Dazeley (baritone), Huddersfield Choral Society, BBC Symphony Chorus, BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, conductor Martyn Brabbins
