Shostakovich: Symphony No 7 'Leningrad'
Mark Simpson (clarinet)
大象传媒 Philharmonic
Juanjo Mena (conductor)
In his final season as its Chief Conductor, Juanjo Mena leads the 大象传媒 Philharmonic in a concert contrasting darkness and light. Magnus Lindberg's Clarinet Concerto is a modern classic, a glorious collision of tradition and innovation that is at once emotionally direct and ferociously virtuosic; a graduate of 大象传媒 Radio 3's New Generation Artist scheme and 大象传媒 Young Musician winner, Mark Simpson is the soloist. Darkness streaks across the second half with Shostakovich's heart-wrenching tribute to the Soviet victims of the Second World War - the powerful 'Leningrad' Symphony.
