Music and memory interweave in Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Symphonic Dances, in which the composer expresses a deep nostalgia for his homeland after 20 years in exile, while Maurice Ravel’s glittering concerto for piano and orchestra pays tribute to Harlem jazz and the Basque folk songs of his childhood.
