Notes
Satina noted that the program was different to that which was announced, and that Rachmaninoff’s Spring Cantata and The Rock were not heard. Instead, this was the first performance of Rachmaninoff’s Third Piano Concerto in Moscow, postponed from a planned performance the previous month due to the delayed return of parts from the US. Satina also indicated that Rachmaninoff conducted in this concert, and a review in Russkiye Vedomosti on April 7 confirms that Plotnikoff conducted only in the concerto. Keldysh (p. 297) also confirms that Rachmaninoff conducted his symphony. An image of the first page of this program is included in Keldysh's Rachmaninoff and His Time.
