Summary
Edward Gardner leads the London Philharmonic Orchestra and soloist Patricia Kopatchinskaja in Shostakovich’s Second Violin Concerto at the Royal Festival Hall, alongside two symphonic works by Rachmaninov.
Why it's fantastic
Witness the sheer theatricality of Patricia Kopatchinskaja as she navigates the dark, biting intensity of Shostakovich’s final concerto. It is the perfect companion to Rachmaninov’s first symphony, a lush and ambitious work that once divided critics but now stands as a cornerstone of the late-Romantic era.
