Lawrence Power, Simon Crawford-Phillips

Katie Derham presents Lawrence Power (violin/viola) and Simon Crawford-Phillips (piano) playing Britten, Beethoven and Shostakovich at LSO St Luke's in London.

LSO St Luke's Bach, Britten, Shostakovich

The second in this week's series of Lunchtime Concerts exploring music by Bach, Britten and Shostakovich.

In Shostakovich's powerful Viola sonata, his final composition, the finale paraphrases Beethoven's famous Moonlight Sonata and to highlight this connection, Power and Crawford-Phillps chose to insert a short arrangement of the well known first movement.
The recital opens with Britten's youthful Suite for Violin which ends with an exuberantly distorted version of a waltz.
