Visiting the UK: St Petersburg Philharmonic
An archive recording from 2014 with Yuri Temirkanov and the St Petersburg Philharmonic in music by Liadov, Tchaikovsky and Shostakovich.
Continuing the series of memorable concerts given by visiting orchestras from the last decade of the Radio 3 archive, Yuri Temirkanov conducts the legendary St. Petersburg Philharmonic in a programme of Russian music recorded at Bridgewater Hall, Manchester in 2014. The repertoire has a link to the city as Liadov, who composed the first piece, the tone poem Kikimora, was born in St Petersburg as was Shostakovich. The orchestra premiered no fewer than seven of Shostakovich's symphonies, including the final piece in the concert, his 10th Symphony. Sandwiched between these two pieces is Tchaikovsky鈥檚 great Romantic Violin Concerto, performed by the Spanish violinist Leticia Moreno.
