Featuring the Kirov Orchestra and Chorus of the Mariinsky Theatre in St Petersburg (with which Rachmaninoff was intimately associated) conducted by Valery Gergiev, and the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Claudio Abbado. With Rachmaninoff’s own words spoken by Sir John Gielgud, this film is a unique and loving insight into a world long gone, but definitely not forgotten.
