Thursday - 大象传媒 Proms - Shostakovich鈥檚 Fifth Symphony

The 贬补濒濒茅 and Sir Mark Elder perform Shostakovich鈥檚 Fifth Symphony and Rachmaninov's choral symphony The Bells at the 大象传媒 Proms.

Introduced by Penny Gore, and featuring The 贬补濒濒茅 orchestra with its Music Director Sir Mark Elder performing a programme of Russian music. The 贬补濒濒茅 Choir and 大象传媒 Symphony Chorus plus soloists join them for Rachmaninov's choral symphony 'The Bells', inspired by the gothic poetry of Edgar Allan Poe. The second half of the concert features Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony: the surface jollity concealing a darker core, under threat from Stalin and the Soviet regime.

Penny also introduces music by Finnish composers, and more from the Gambelin Duo concert recorded at this year's Schwetzingen Festival by German radio.
