Ravel and Shostakovich from Copenhagen

From Copenhagen, the Danish National Symphony Orchestra play Shostakovich's Fourth Symphony and Andrey Gugnin joins them for Ravel's Piano Concerto for the Left Hand.

The Danish National Symphony Orchestra plays Ravel and Shostakovich.

Dmitry Matvienko, winner of the prestigious Malko Competition 2021, conducts Shostakovich's Fourth Symphony, planned for performance in Leningrad in December 1936 but abandoned at the eleventh hour under suspicious circumstances. And before that, Andrey Gugnin plays the concert that Maurice Ravel had written a few years earlier for the Austrian pianist Paul Wittgenstein, who lost his right arm during World War I.

Presented by Fiona Talkington.
