BBC Symphony Orchestra

More details

The Soviets called Shostakovich’s Tenth Symphony an “optimistic tragedy”, but the reality is infinitely more complex (and compelling) than that. It’s a symphony of dark secrets and shattering power: a powerful contrast to the heavenly radiance of Messiaen’s musical prayer, and the haunting tenderness and magical new sounds of Outi Tarkiainen’s Milky Ways.
