Summary
John Storgårds leads the BBC Philharmonic and the NOVO Quartet in a programme of Shostakovich’s Eighth String Quartet and Seventh Symphony at The Bridgewater Hall.
Why it's fantastic
This programme offers a visceral encounter with history, pairing a hauntingly private string quartet with the massive, defiant Leningrad Symphony. It is a rare chance to hear how one composer channelled both personal grief and the collective survival of a city into two of the most powerful scores ever written.

- 01Dmitry Shostakovich: Quartet No. 8 in C minor
- 02Dmitry Shostakovich: Symphony No. 7, ‘Leningrad’
