The program will comprise all Russian music: Rachmaninoff, Mussorgsky and Prokofiev.

Sadly, not. Would that we could get an orchestra and hear him do Tchaik. 1.

Tchaikovsky, of all composers, cannot be played to death, especially his first piano concerto. But the other composers on the program are great.
