January 16 1905 (Julian calendar)

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 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 in both attached reviews. LoC, Sergei Rachmaninoff Archive, ML31R33, Papers of Sophie Satin, boxes 82-89.
