Approved

Shostakovich called his Fifth Symphony “a Soviet artist’s response to just criticism”, but every note tells a much darker truth. From its savage opening to final, blazing chords, this is music that really is a matter of life and death. It’ll make an explosive finish to a concert that begins with Roussel’s whirlwind Bacchus and Ariane (fast becoming a Domingo Hindoyan signature following the release of his critically-acclaimed first album in 2022) and stars powerhouse pianist – and the 2021 Leeds International Piano Competition winner – Alim Beisembayev, in a gorgeous new concerto by the Jamaican-born British composer Eleanor Alberga.
