Simon Crawford-Phillips & Philip Moore: Russian Roots

Step into a world of history, folk heritage and rich musical tradition, as BBC Radio 3 invites chamber musicians, from singers to string quartets, to explore Russian music from across the centuries.

In the final concert of the series, Simon Crawford-Philips and Philip Moore translate the energy of dance into music for two pianos, bringing to life the fierce, spiky rhythms of Rachmaninov’s Symphonic Dances and Stravinsky’s Three Movements from Petrushka, both of which place spectacular demands on the soloists.
