Prom 46 - BBC Symphony Orchestra archive

Part of the BBC Proms. Renowned Shostakovich interpreter Semyon Bychkov conducts the composer's astonishingly powerful and strikingly cinematic 1957 symphony, which on the surface commemorates the failed anti-Tsarist uprising of 1905, but deep down rages at the Soviet authorities. Detlev Glanert's new piece is a foretaste of his forthcoming opera, Das Holzschiff ('The Wooden Ship'). Winner of the 1998 Moscow Tchaikovsky Competition, and recently acclaimed by Gramophone as 'a virtuoso in the grandest of Russian traditions', Denis Matsuev makes his Proms debut in Rachmaninov's devilishly demanding set of variations on Paganini's most famous Caprice. Approx finish time: 22:00. Live on BBC Radio 3.
