Overview

Rebellion and revolution abound as two composers grapple with the terror and turmoil of the 20th century

Under the command of Alexander Gavrylyuk, Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No.3 is a flurry of virtuosity. Dizzying, surreal melodies portray a sense of sarcastic delight in a work that’s sometimes mischievous, sometimes tender, but always electrifying.

Then witness Shostakovich’s harrowing Symphony No.10, a tour-de-force of orchestral power, which claws its way from despair to hopeful triumph. Performed alongside an on-screen showing of South African artist, William Kentridge’s film Oh To Believe In Another World.

Prokofiev – Piano Concerto No.3 in C, Op.26
Shostakovich – Symphony No.10 in E minor, Op.93
