INTERVAL
'Symphony No. 4', Shostakovich |
| Performance Notes | As their acclaimed Shostakovich recording series continues, the BBC Philharmonic and Chief Conductor John Storgårds bring one of the composers boldest symphonies to the Proms. The Fourth, a bleak and ferociously powerful work, was withdrawn before its planned premiere for fear of reprisal from Joseph Stalin, who had recently denounced Shostakovichs opera Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District.
Before the interval we hear Canadian composer Cassandra Millers new viola concerto, titled I cannot love without trembling and written for leading player Lawrence Power.
Broadcast live on BBC Radio 3. |
