Nicola Benedetti and City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra play Shostakovich.
Live from the Symphony Hall in Birmingham, Mirga Grazinyte-Tyla conducts the CBSO in Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring and Shostakovich's First Violin Concerto with Nicola Benedetti.
Violinist Nicola Benedetti joins the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra for Shostakovich's dramatic and dark First Violin Concerto; a work so potent that it remained locked in a desk drawer, away from Soviet authorities, until Stalin's death in 1953.
Live from Symphony Hall, Mirga Gra啪inyt臈-Tyla conducts the CBSO in a concert which also features Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring and the Lithuanian folk song which inspired the work's opening bassoon melody.
Plus the Birmingham premiere of a lost Stravinsky work, Funeral Song, which was only rediscovered in December 2016.
Presenter: Tom Redmond.
