Notes
Satina believed that Rachmaninoff's Second Symphony was conducted by Simon Speelman, however the attached press clippings indicate it was conducted by the composer. A brief review in the Musical Times, December 1 1911, appears to indicate that the concert might also have included Rossini's 'Una voce poco fa', sung by Mignon Nevada, in the first part of the concert, along with an arrangement by Carl Flitner of piano waltzes by Schubert for chorus and orchestra, conducted by 'Mr Branscombe' [possibly Edward Branscombe].
