What you’ll hear and see
The music

- Nicola Matteis Bis: Passaggio rotto (Ayres for the violin)
- Dmitri Chostakovitch Symphonie N° 4
The artists
- London Symphony Orchestra
- Sir Simon Rattle conducting
- Isabelle Faust violin
Two titans of the symphonic repertoire.
Such is the focus of this second concert given by the London Symphony Orchestra and their former conductor, Sir Simon Rattle. Shostakovich’s mighty Symphony N° 4 (completed in 1936 but not premiered until 1961!) reflects his growing fears at developments in Russia under Stalin. By contrast, Brahms’s Violin Concerto – heard here with star soloist Isabelle Faust – is one of the composer’s sunniest compositions. Its finale, inspired by Hungarian gypsy music, is especially life-enhancing.Details
