蜜芽传媒

鈥淒elicacy and passion in every phrase鈥� was how one critic described the playing of the young Ukrainian pianist Anna Fedorova. She鈥檒l bring all her powers into play when she joins Kirill Karabits and the 蜜芽传媒 Symphony Orchestra in the mightiest of all Romantic piano concertos 鈥� an imposing upbeat to Boris Lyatoshinsky鈥檚 tempestuous Third Symphony of 1951.

It鈥檚 still something of a rarity in the UK, but Kirill Karabits has been an outspoken champion of neglected Soviet-era composers, and he鈥檚 convinced that the music of this major Ukrainain symphonist is powerful enough to speak on its own terms. 鈥淚f only Lyatoshinsky had lived in Moscow during Soviet times, instead of staying in Kyiv, his name would stand next to Shostakovich鈥� he says 鈥淚t's just great music. Really great music鈥�.
