Part One
8.0 Overture: Prince Igor - Borodin
In 1887 Borodin, who was a professor of chemistry as well as a composer, died suddenly (at a dance in St. Petersburg), leaving his opera 'Prince Igor,' on which he had been engaged for eighteen years, to be completed by Rimsky-Korsakov and Glazunov. The latter was responsible for the overture; he wrote it down and orchestrated it from his recollections of hearing Borodin play it on the piano

8.14 app. Piano Concerto No. 3, in D minor - Rachmaninov
Rachmaninov said that his Third Concerto was written "especially for America". It was performed for the first time in New York, with the composer as soloist and Walter Damrosch conducting. It is dedicated to Josef Hofmann.

Part Two
9.15 In the Faery Hills - Box
This tone-poem, written in 1909, evokes a revel of the faery folk in a remote part of Kerry. The middle section, suggested by a passage in Yeats's "The Wanderings of Oisin", portrays the bard singing a song of human joy to "the hidden people". To them it seems the saddest music, they have ever heard. They seize his harp, fling it in a deep pool, and whirl him away to laughter and dancing

9.30 app. Fantasia after Dante: Francesca da Rimini - Tchaikovsky.
The score is prefaced by the following quotation from the Fifth Canto of the "Inferno": "Dante, coming into the second circle of Hell, witnesses the punishment of carnal sinners who are tossed about ceaselessly in the dark air by the most furious winds. Among these he meets Francesco da Rimini, who tells her story".
