Shostakovich and Rachmaninov
First transmitted in 2018. The Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Symphony Orchestra led by Karina Canellakis perform works from Beethoven, Rachmaninov, Shostakovich and Norman's Spiral.
Conductor Karina Canellakis returns with the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ 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.
