SHOSTAKOVICH
Symphony No. 1

The turbulent era of the first and second world wars inspired works of remarkable beauty and even unveiled optimism. Prokofiev’s Classical Symphony sparkles while Korngold’s violin concerto conjures the golden era of Hollywood – performed here by magnetic Ryu Goto. The fateful 1^st Symphony of Shostakovich anchors the programme – both a mirror and prophecy for the 20^th century.
