A majestic score ✨ Today marks the birthday of Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninoff. To celebrate, we're taking a look back at Rhapsody – Frederick Ashton's ballet set to one of Rachmaninoff's most famous pieces, 'Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini'. First written in 1934, the score moves from stormy passages to calmer interludes, making for the perfect pairing with Ashton's exceptionally fluid yet powerful choreography.
