Shostakovich’s mighty Fifth Symphony is paired with world premieres by Victoria Vita Polevá and Elena Langer in a London Philharmonic Orchestra concert.

Even today, it’s hard to tell whether the Fifth Symphony tells a story of triumph or despair – or whether the composer’s description of it as ‘a Soviet artist’s reply to just criticism’ was anything more than a Stalin-era survival strategy.

But there’s no such ambiguity about the impassioned Nova by Kyiv-born Victoria Vita Polevá.

Or indeed about tonight’s premiere from Elena Langer; in fact, there’s a definite smile on the face of this tribute – part choral work, part cello concerto – to the nonsense verse of Edward Lear.

Exactly as you’d expect from the endlessly imaginative composer of Figaro Gets a Divorce.
