Conductor - Shiyeon Sung
Piano - Steven Osborne

Liadov - The Enchanted Lake
Ravel - Piano Concerto in G
Shostakovich - Symphony No.5

Shostakovich’s most popular symphony encapsulates the debate about his music: is it a simple barnstorming finale or a coded protest? We welcome Shiyeon Sung back to the podium to take us on this rollercoaster ride.

‘The multitude of stars hovering over the mysteries of the deep’. So Liadov described this crystalline miniature, orchestral virtuosity at its best.

The eminent Scottish pianist Steven Osborne plays Ravel’s wonderful concerto. Its effervescent outer movements are infused with a feather-light touch of jazz (albeit a very Ravellian kind of jazz); its central movement is one of his most profound and moving utterances.

Another work that was an instant hit was Bruch’s First Violin Concerto. And rightly so, with its infectious blend of romance and gypsy vivacity. In Benjamin Beilman’s hands this will be a treat.

Webern’s loving setting of J.S. Bach is followed by Mendelssohn’s tribute to Martin Luther, ending with the sturdy chorale ‘A Mighty Fortress Is Our God’.
