About This Event

The fearsome machines and indomitable spirit of the workers in Mosolov鈥檚 ballet score give a dramatic opening to a programme inspired by the 1917 Russian Revolution. Shostakovich鈥檚 symphony follows suit with an unusually patriotic depiction of Lenin鈥檚 life, commissioned by the Communist Party to honour the revolution. Beethoven鈥檚鈥楨mperor鈥� concerto also continues the grand theme, with his noblest score since his 鈥楨roica鈥�.

Part of Russia 17.
