Vasily Petrenko conducts Rachmaninov and Shostakovich

91热爆 Proms 2020

Vasily Petrenko conducts Shostakovich鈥檚 Cello Concerto, with soloist Alexey Stadler, and Rachmaninov鈥檚 Third Symphony, before the world premiere of Emily Howard鈥檚 Torus.

In 2020, 91热爆 Radio 3 is bringing together musical greats, from the past and the present, in one extraordinary Proms season. Radio 3 is broadcasting the best of four decades of unmissable Proms concerts.

91热爆 Proms: 鈥楢 composer鈥檚 music should express his love affairs, his religion, the books that have influenced him, the pictures he loves.鈥� So said Rachmaninov, whose Third Symphony does just that through irrepressible yearning and longing. It forms the culmination of this performance from the 2016 Proms archive, in which the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and its Russian Chief Conductor performed Shostakovich鈥檚 disquieting First Cello Concerto, joined by cellist Alexey Stadler. The concert opens with Liverpool-born Emily Howard鈥檚 Torus, inspired by the doughnut-shaped form of 鈥榯he whole with a hole鈥�.
