Shostakovich and Rachmaninov
First transmitted in 2018. The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Symphony Orchestra led by Karina Canellakis perform works from Beethoven, Rachmaninov, Shostakovich and Norman's Spiral.
Conductor Karina Canellakis returns with the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Symphony Orchestra after her triumphant 2017 Proms debut. Two 20th-century Russian masterpieces lead the bill - the exhilarating Symphonic Dances by Rachmaninov and Shostakovich's much-loved First Cello Concerto, where Canellakis is joined by another young American star, soloist Alisa Weilerstein. The evening kicks off with Beethoven's forceful Overture Coriolan, which Canellakis describes as a 'punch in the face', and a third young American, composer Andrew Norman, completes the programme with the UK premiere of his new work Spiral.
