The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Vasily Petrenko performs music by Shostakovich and John Adams.

In the midst of the second World War, and the Nazis' 900-days Siege of Leningrad, Shostakovich composed his Seventh Symphony, a work which he dedicated to the city. The Leningrad premiere was broadcast through loudspeakers as an act of defiance against the Nazi troops. Stuart Flinders presents as the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra are conducted by Vasily Petrenko in this extraordinary Symphony together with the UK premiere of Enchantements Oubliés by the Chinese-born composer Qigang Chen and John Adams' The Chairman Dances.
