Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
Shostakovich, Prokofiev and Jeajoon Ryu
7.30pm Tuesday 12 April, 2011, Cadogan Hall
Grzegorz Nowak conductor
Chloe Hanslip violin
In-Hye Kim soprano
Philharmonia Chorus
Programme:
Shostakovich: Festive Overture
Prokofiev: Violin Concerto No.2
Ryu: Sinfonia da Requiem 'Ju-yung Chung' (London premiere)
Written in just three days, Shostakovich’s Festive Overture is full of bombast and glittering orchestral sounds, from its blazing fanfare to the sparkling melodies dashing across the orchestra. Another Russian classic, but in an entirely different mood, is Prokofiev’s Second Violin Concerto, full of enigmatic twists and turns.
Composed to commemorate the late Ju-yung Chung, Jeajoon Ryu’s intense and powerful Sinfonia da Requiem was hailed by fellow-composer Penderecki as 'a masterpiece'.
6.30pm: Meet the Artists. Free pre-concert talk presented by Edward Seckerson.
