Louise Fryer is at St David's Hall in Cardiff for two absorbing Russian masterworks, performed by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales.
Written alongside Romeo and Juliet, Prokofiev's second concerto shares the ballet's direct emotion. Rachmaninov's second symphony, written 20 years earlier, is at once an intense tour de force and a seductive song for orchestra.
