From the BBC Proms! The Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra is led by Adam Hickox in Shostakovich's Festive Overture and Cello Concerto, with soloist Maximilian Hornung, Rachmanimoff's Symphonic Dances, and Gubaidulina's Fairytale Poem.
Esa-Pekka Salonen leads the orchestra in Stravinsky's The Firebird, Magnus Lindberg’s 2002 Bach-inspired piece Chorale and Alban Berg’s famed Violin Concerto — played here by Isabelle Faust — which functioned both as an elegy for a surrogate daughter who died too soon, and as a requiem for himself.
