15.01.2022 DIMITRI SHOSTAKOVICH 'October" Opus 131 1967 was the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution and all artists in the Soviet Union were expected to contribute to the celebrations. Shostakovich’s principal offering was this 13 minute symphonic poem, one of his least-known orchestral works. It is written in the full-blooded film-music style he used for many of his official works, full of meaty heroism, thick orchestral textures and tub thumping climaxes, all suggesting the then traditionally acceptable ways of publicly commemorating the revolutionary events of 1917. This is Shostakovich at his showman best !

04.01.2022 Concerto for cello and orchestra - 'Concerto Elegiaco’ Unlike Elgar's great cello concerto, which is a poem of regret for a lost world he had known, Frank Bridge wrote "Oration" as a musical protest. It brings us right into the reality of war. The ending transforms the whole work, making it a serious challenge to the codas of the Elgar and Dvorak concertos for the title of the most beautiful ending to a cello concerto. The originality and power of this music make it worthy of its place among the finest 19th/20th century cello concerti.

03.01.2022 The end of a great night!
