Rachmaninov Song

 

Philip Bullock's Knowledge Exchange Fellowship develops an emerging relationship with London's Wigmore Hall, the UK's leading venue for song and chamber music. In 2023-24, the renowned pianist Iain Burnside was invited to put together a Russian song series, and in turn, he approached Professor Bullock to act as series consultant, drawing on Professor Bullock’s expertise in Rachmaninov music, particularly song.

Songs by Sergey Rachmaninov, his colleagues and followers, form the basis for a new series at Wigmore Hall co-curated by Iain Burnside and Philip Ross Bullock. 

Please visit Professor Bullock's Knowledge Exchange pages to watch an enchanting concert performed at the Wigmore Hall on Thursday, September 28th. Led by two exceptional singers featured on Burnside's Rachmaninov song discs, the programme showcased works by renowned composers such as Nikolay Myaskosvksy (1881-1950), Anatoly Alexandrov (1888-1982), Mikhail Gnesin (1883-1957), Yuliya Veysberg (1880-1942), and Maximilian Steinberg (1883-1946).
