Russian orchestral masterpieces
Shostakovich's Symphony No 11, Liadov's Kikimora and Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto, performed by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra. Presented by Elizabeth Alker.
Shostakovich's Eleventh Symphony may have been written at the request of the Soviet authorities, but it is now renowned as passionately empathetic to the oppressed citizens at the time of the Russian Revolution. Vasily Petrenko conducts it for the first time in Liverpool, and it is a great opportunity to hear the orchestra's incredible full-sized set of church bells: a powerful contrast to the romance of Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto, played by rising star Christian Li.
Recorded at Liverpool Philharmonic Hall and presented by Elizabeth Alker.
