In its fourth edition, the Annecy Festival has become a major player in
the national and international cultural landscape. In residence at the
2013 Annecy Classic Festival, the St. Petersburg Philharmonic closes
the festival and joins forces with its iconic conductor Yuri Temirkanov
for a 100% Rachmaninov programme! Russian to his very marrow despite
his exile in the United States, Sergei Rachmaninov plumbs the depths of
the Slavic soul. Temirkanov conducts the orchestra in a performance of
Rimsky-Korsakov's lush Sheherazade, with its intoxicating scents and
the glowing, oriental colours - a journey through One Thousand and One
Nights.
