Background: 'If the Chandos recording has captured half as much excitement, it will set new standards for this work - and maybe even force a wholesale reassessment of Rachmaninov's achievement as an operatic composer' wrote David Fanning after attending the recent Bridgewater Hall performance by Noseda and the BBC Philharmonic of Francesca da Rimini.

Rachmaninov's one-act opera uses a libretto by Modest Tchaikovsky, based on a story told by Dante in his Divine Comedy. An underlying theme is that hell is happiness recalled in times of chronic misery. The story concerns the character of Francesca da Rimini, the tragic heroine murdered with her lover by her jealous husband.
