The LPO and Vladimir Jurowski play Debussy, Stravinsky and Shostakovich.

Stravinsky: Symphony in C
Stravinsky: Tango
Debussy: Fantaisie

8.15: Interval

Shostakovich Symphony No. 6

Leif Ove Andsnes, piano
London Philharmonic Orchestra
Vladimir Jurowski, conductor

By the outbreak of the Second World War, Stravinsky was a musical omnivore - and as he started a new life under the Californian sun in 1940, everything he touched came out bold, provocative and sparkling new. Vladimir Jurowski opens the programme with Stravinsky's brilliant deconstruction of the Classical symphony, before Leif Ove Andsnes breathes fresh life into Debussy's early Fantaisie. Meanwhile, back in the USSR, Dmitri Shostakovich confronted an altogether bleaker reality. His extraordinary Sixth Symphony, written on the eve of the conflict, is a compelling, sometimes terrifying collision between pitch-black sorrow and sheer, uproarious farce.
