BBC Philharmonic & Anastasia Kobekina - Storgårds conducts Shostakovich at The Bridgewater Hall, Manchester

BBC Philharmonic & Anastasia Kobekina - Storgårds conducts Shostakovich

This season, we continue our odyssey through Shostakovich’s symphonies with Chief Conductor John Storgårds, who masterfully captures both the tenderness and ferocity of the composer’s music. Tonight’s programme features Symphony No. 10, premiered after Stalin’s death in 1953. Filled with grief, rage, and manic intensity, it feels deeply autobiographical – a feeling reinforced by the composer’s musical signature, the notes D, S, C, and H, that are furiously seared into the final movements of the work.

In the first half, Russian-born cellist Anastasia Kobekina performs Dvořák’s Cello Concerto – a heroic, intensely virtuosic work she has made her own. Anastasia has actively condemned the war on Ukraine carried out on her behalf as a Russian citizen.
