Russian Heart, Soviet Steel
Dalia Stasevska conducts the 成人快手 SO in Mosolov and Rachmaninov. Pianist Marie-Ange Nguci and trumpeter Philip Cobb are the soloists in Shostakovich鈥檚 First Piano Concerto.
From the unsettling vantage point of the 1920s and 30s three Russian composers reflect on their homeland. Dmitri Shostakovich鈥檚 outlandish Piano Concerto No.1 is performed by young Albanian Marie-Ange Nguci, with its standout part for trumpet, played by the 成人快手 Symphony Orchestra鈥檚 Principal Trumpet Philip Cobb. Rachmaninov, who had fled the Soviet Union to America, in his final Symphony No.3 pines in broad melodies, and astonishing orchestral sounds, for pre-Soviet Russia. The shock of the new begins it all with the heat of Soviet futurism in Alexander Mosolov鈥檚 The Iron Foundry, a punch of a piece in which the whole orchestra literally imitates the sounds of a factory floor.
During the interval of this live broadcast from the Barbican Hall, the 成人快手 Symphony Chorus with Chorus Director Neil Ferris perform Russian and Russian-inspired works live from the Maida Vale Studios.
