Revolution in the head

Vladimir Jurowski and the LPO perform Shostakovich's epic Symphony No 11, 'The Year 1905'. Peter Donohoe is the soloist in John Foulds's strange piano concerto, Dynamic Triptych.

Live at the Royal Festival Hall Vladimir Jurowski conducts the LPO in Shostakovich's epic 11th Symphony, a dramatic and cinematic portrayal of the events of 1905 which marked the beginning of the Russian revolution, including chiming bells, gunshots and revolutionary songs. Peter Donohoe is the soloist in John Foulds's Dynamic Triptych. From the late 1920s, it's a rarely heard, hugely energetic and strange piano concerto which dizzyingly fuses ideas from east and west.

Introduced by Martin Handley.
