When a 19-year-old student named Dmitri Shostakovich handed in the score for his First Symphony in 1925, his tutors at the St Petersburg Conservatory were stunned. Shostakovich's dramatic, impulsive and strident work seemed to combine Tchaikovsky's emotional fervous, Prokofiev's playful joie de vivre and Scriabin's intense heat. Venezualan conductor Ilyich Rivas comes to Eastbourne to conduct Shostakovich's eye-widening First Symphony after Mahler's radiant orchestral flower song Blumine, Tchaikovsky's sweeping and dazzling First Piano Concerto and the playful orchestral flourish that is Dvorak's Scherzo capriccioso.
