Part: Cantus in memoriam Benjamin Britten. Britten: Four Sea Interludes. Huw Watkins: Violin Concerto. Shostakovich: Symphony No 5. Alina Ibragimova (violin), ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ SO/Edward Gardner.
With Louise Fryer
Edward Gardner conducts the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Symphony Orchestra in the four evocative Sea Interludes from Britten's opera Peter Grimes, the heartrending strings and tolling bell of the Cantus by Arvo Pärt (75 this year) which forms a hypnotic tribute to Britten, and the Fifth Symphony by one of Britten's great friends - a work which brought Shostakovich back into favour with Soviet authorities. Former Radio 3 New Generation Artist Alina Ibragimova is the soloist in the new concerto by Huw Watkins, who often appears as a pianist with her in recitals. Presented by Sara Mohr-Pietsch.
