Shostakovich. S8 - Kirill Karabits (25.01.2017-Live-Poole) FLAC
Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra - Prokofiev, Shostakovich
Radio 3 in Concert
Live from the Lighthouse, Poole, 25.01.2017
Presented by Martin Handley
The Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Kirill Karabits, play Prokofiev and Shostakovich.
Prokofiev: Violin Concerto No.2
8.00: Interval
8.20: Shostakovich: Symphony No.8
Valeriy Sokolov, violin
Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra
Kirill Karabits, conductor
Prokofiev worked on his Second Violin Concerto at the same time as Romeo and Juliet and the two works have much in common, particularly an ardent and voluptuous lyricism.
The second of Shostakovich's wartime symphonies, the Eighth was criticized as being too pessimistic at a time when Stalin was insisting that Soviet victory was in sight. It does contain possibly the most terrifying music Shostakovich ever wrote, yet he tried to persuade listeners otherwise, describing it as "an optimistic, life-asserting work... all that is dark and evil will rot away, and beauty will triumph." Perhaps the final flute solo does at least suggest that the lone hero has survived.
After tonight's concert there's a chance to hear the fruits of the latest round of Adopt-a-Composer projects, which pair a composer with an amateur performing group in order to write and perform a new piece of music.

Shostakovich. S10 - John Storgards (22.10.2016-Live-Manchester) FLAC
Radio 3 in Concert
The BBC Philharmonic, conducted by John Storgards, in powerful music by Shostakovich, Nielsen and Maxwell Davies. They are joined by virtuoso trumpeter Hakan Hardenberger.
Recorded at the Bridgewater Hall, Manchester, 22.10.2016
Nielsen: Maskarade, Overture
Maxwell Davies: Trumpet Concerto
8.10pm
Music Interval
8.30
Shostakovich: Symphony No.10
Hakan Hardenberger (trumpet)
BBC Philharmonic
John Storgards (conductor)
The Overture to Nielsen's Maskarade sets the scene for a masked ball, full of vivacious energy and playful wit. Shostakovich's hugely powerful Tenth Symphony received its first performance soon after Stalin died and its opening movement speaks bleakly of suffering while the Scherzo snarls with venom. Pioneering trumpeter Hakan Hardenberger is the soloist in Peter Maxwell Davies's Concerto, with its virtuoso solo demands and rich orchestral palette. A still, calm voice here is the plainsong quoted by the composer celebrating the feast of St Francis. The sounds of birds feature too, familiar from Max's Orkney home, rather than from Assisi.
