Conductor Stanislaw Skrowaczewski gives a ravishing chamber music movement new life in his own orchestration of the glorious Adagio from Bruckner's String Quartet.
In tonight's concert, he frames this with two youthful works. It is astonishing today to think that Brahms's much-loved first piano concerto was actually hissed by early audiences 150 years ago. While still a student at the Leningrad Conservatory, by contrast, Shostakovich impressed his professors with his innovative and deeply- felt first step in his symphonic canon.
