San Francisco Symphony - Rachmaninoff Symphonic Dances

Conductor Karina Callenakis takes the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra through a rousing performance of Rachmaninoff's famed Symphonic Dances, via Prokofiev's Violin Concerto No. 2, a worldly piece featuring both Russian and Spanish folk influences, and Victoria Borisova-Ollas' ethereal and magnificent tone poem The Kingdom of Silence. Grammy and BRIT Award-winning violinist Nicola Benedetti lends her talent to the orchestra as soloist for the violin concerto, for a program that showcases the enduring and versatile power of the classical orchestra.
