Britten's Sinfonia da Requiem opens this programme of testimony and remembrance. Former 大象传媒 SO Principal Cellist Paul Watkins is the soloist in Lutoslawski's bleak and beautiful Cello Concerto, composed for and dedicated to Mstislav Rostropovich in a period of violent protest and political repression in Poland.
Thomas Ad猫s conducts the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra and soloists Christianne Stotijn and Simon Keenlyside in the world premiere of his Totentanz, a commission in memory of Lutoslawski, which sets an anonymous 15th-century text that accompanied a frieze destroyed when L眉beck's Marienkirche was bombed in the Second World War.
