Shostakovich and Bart贸k from the CBSO in Birmingham

Bart贸k's Dance Suite, Shostakovich's second Violin Concerto with soloist Isabelle Faust and the UK premiere of Akio Yashiro's Symphony for Large Orchestra.

Bart贸k鈥檚 lively Dance Suite was written in 1923 to mark the joining of Buda and Pest 50 years earlier. With the CBSO and Kazuki Yamada it glows and dances with Hungarian folk-like rhythms and melodies. Shostakovich鈥檚 Violin Concerto No. 2 鈥� a blend of fire and ice 鈥� is perfect for the supreme artistry of Isabelle Faust. In the second half of tonight's concert, Akio Yashiro celebrates the entire orchestra in the UK premiere of his Symphony for Orchestra.

Presented by Elizabeth Alker, live from Symphony Hall, Birmingham.
