Part: Cantus in memoriam Benjamin Britten. Britten: Four Sea Interludes. Huw Watkins: Violin Concerto. Shostakovich: Symphony No 5. Alina Ibragimova (violin), 大象传媒 SO/Edward Gardner.

With Louise Fryer

Edward Gardner conducts the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra in the four evocative Sea Interludes from Britten's opera Peter Grimes, the heartrending strings and tolling bell of the Cantus by Arvo P盲rt (75 this year) which forms a hypnotic tribute to Britten, and the Fifth Symphony by one of Britten's great friends - a work which brought Shostakovich back into favour with Soviet authorities. Former Radio 3 New Generation Artist Alina Ibragimova is the soloist in the new concerto by Huw Watkins, who often appears as a pianist with her in recitals. Presented by Sara Mohr-Pietsch.
