The LSO reach the final staging post of their epic journey through the orchestral works of Shostakovich.
Tonight's concert opens with his
"last will and testament", the Suite on Poems of Michelangelo, and the series ends by completing the cycle of Shostakovich's 15 symphonies: as well as quoting Rossini and Wagner, the Symphony No 15 looks back over the composer's previous symphonies.
Tigran Martirossian (baritone), London Symphony Orchestra, conductor Mstislav Rostropovich Shostakovich Suite on Poems of Michelangelo; Symphony No 15
