Prom 44 - Shostakovich/Stravinsky & Tchaikovsky

Work:: Prom 44 (S5975)

Part of the BBC Proms.

Production:: Shostakovich/Stravinsky & Tchaikovsky (T0301658115)

Former BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist Lisa Batiashvili has a special relationship with Shostakovich's profoundly moving concerto, as she demonstrated in a recent recording with tonight's conductor. She sees the work as peculiarly emblematic of the Soviet era, whose later days she experienced at first hand - a metaphorical escape and symbol of freedom for those struggling to function within the system. Stravinsky's tragic puppet love triangle dazzles in its 1947 revision, while Tchaikovsky's Russian-sounding music animates Dante's timeless tale of forbidden love and eternal punishment. Finish time: approx. 22:05

Performer	Lisa Batiashvili (violin)
Company	Philharmonia Orchestra
Conductor	Esa-Pekka Salonen
