A week of programmes featuring the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra comes to an end with two seventh symphonies, written nearly 150 years apart. They frame a concerto by Shostakovich - a piano concerto in all but name - and Haydn's "Mass for troubled times" which illustrates the rather different reaction of its composer to the advance of Napoleon than the Eroica Symphony we heard on Tuesday.
In 1945 Hartmann was one of the few creative people in Bavaria unblemished by association with the Nazi regime and was instrumental in rebuilding cultural life. He founded the Musica Viva concert series which championed music by young, hitherto unknown composers. The Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra continues the series to this day, and a recent concert included this performance of Hartmann's Seventh Symphony.
