Summary
Kazuki Yamada leads the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra at Symphony Hall, where Alice Sara Ott joins for Ravel’s concerto alongside orchestral works by Walton and Shostakovich.
Why it's fantastic
This evening balances the elegant, jazz-tinted energy of Ravel’s concerto with a symphony written under the shadow of Soviet history. Hearing the Shostakovich finale live is a visceral experience, moving from forced celebration to a massive, haunting wall of sound that usually leaves the room in total silence.
