'A composer's music should express his love affairs, his religion, the books that have influenced him, the pictures he loves.' So said Rachmaninov, whose Third Symphony does just that through irrepressible yearning and longing. It forms the culmination of this Prom in which the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and its Russian Chief Conductor perform Shostakovich's disquieting First Cello Concerto.

A brand-new work by Liverpool-born composer Emily Howard opens the concert.

PROMS INTERVAL: Sir Henry Wood and Rachmaninov's Third Symphony.
Conductor Benjamin Pope visits the Royal Academy of Music to see the Proms founder Sir Henry Wood's own copy of the score of Sergei Rachmaninov's Third Symphony. He meets Professor Raymond Holden to discuss the relationship between conductor and composer, and to find out what we can learn from this score today.
