From the Bridgewater Hall, Manchester. Presented by Martin Handley.

The concert concludes with Vassily Sinaisky conducting the 91热爆 Philharmonic in Shostakovich's Symphony No 10, which was premiered in 1953, not long after the death of Stalin. It was the composer's first symphonic work since his official denunciation in 1948, and some say that the short and violent second movement is a musical portrait of the dictator.
