Settle in for a night of glorious classics to celebrate the most romantic evening of the year. Performed by the Philharmonia Orchestra, the Valentine's Day Concert at Royal Festival Hall features Fritz Kreisler's Liebesleid, Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No.2 and also his Symphony No.2. The Piano Concerto No.2 is one of Rachmaninov's most enduringly popular pieces and has inspired musicians through the ages, from Frank Sinatra to Muse.
