Notes: Satina indicated that this concert, which began at 1.15pm on a Sunday, was part of Kerzin’s series of concerts (known as the Society of Lovers of Russian Music), and that it was the first Symphony Concert sponsored by the Society. The order of the program follows Keldysh (p. 220) and Martyn (p. 539). While a review in Russkoe Slovo on January 17, attached, perhaps suggested the work by Rimsky-Korsakov was not performed (it briefly noted works only by 'Rubinstein, Glinka, Tchaikovsky'), a longer review in Moskovskiye Vedomosti the following day confirmed that Sadko was performed, without mentioning Rubinstein. The works on the program are confirmed collectively in the attached reviews. LoC, Sergei Rachmaninoff Archive, ML31R33, Papers of Sophie Satin, boxes 82-89.

Rachmaninoff's role: Conductor

Notes: Satina noted that this was the 7th concert in the season of the Moscow Philharmonic Society. She believed that the final item on the program was the first performance in Moscow of Elgar's Enigma Variations, however Keldysh (p 221) and Martyn (p. 541) indicated the performance of Grieg's Peer Gynt Suite, no. 1, with Keldysh citing a review by Rozenov in Novosti Dnya (attached). That review appears to indicate that Grigorovich also played small works by Godard and Wagner, however these are not mentioned in the attached review from Russkaya Muzikal'naya Gazeta.
