Summary: | Valery Gergiev conducts the composer's powerfully emotional Symphony No Three, framed with a work by one of the Mighty Five; Mily Balakirev's Russia. Often considered to be his most overtly Russian symphony, Rachmaninov makes subtle use throughout the work of a motto theme which can be heard in the finale as a variant of the Dies Irae plainchant; a melodic tag used in Rachmaninov's music as a dark reminder of mortality.
