A concert given at London's Royal Albert Hall , introduced by Petroc Trelawny . Bruch's romantic concerto contrasts with Shostakovich's epic symphony, which arguably heralded a new sense of freedom found in Russia after the death of Stalin, and portrayed all the strife and uncertain hopes of the mid-20th century. Joshua Bell (violin), Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, conductor Daniele Gatti
