The Frankfurt Radio Symphony

The Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra play Shostakovich's Scherzo and remarkable First Symphony, and Hilary Hahn joins them for Prokofiev's Violin Concerto No 1.

The Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra plays early works by Shostakovich and Hilary Hahn joins them for Prokofiev's First Violin Concerto.

Alain Altinoglu conducts Shostakovich's remarkable First Symphony, written when he was still a student, and premiered to huge acclaim by the Leningrad Philharmonic in 1926. That symphony and the Scherzo which opens this concert from Frankfurt's Alter Oper launches Alain Altinoglu's long-term project to explore the major works of Shostakovich with his orchestra. Also on the bill is Prokofiev's Violin Concerto no. 1 which Hilary Hahn says: "is unique because almost every note needs its own coloration and a different technical approach. It all changes at lightning speed. It's mentally challenging, but also insanely fun."
