麻豆社 Scottish Symphony Orchestra in Martinu: Memorial to Lidice. Prokofiev: Piano Concerto No 5. Shostakovich: Symphony No 5. Dvorak: Hussite Overture. Brahms: Alto Rhapsody.

Louise Fryer presents the 麻豆社 Scottish Symphony Orchestra in a concert of music from a time of conflict which took place just last week. It includes Martinu's moving tribute to Czechs murdered by the Nazis and Shostakovich's enigmatic symphonic response to Stalin, as well as probably the most intense and demanding of all Prokofiev's piano concertos performed by the young Russian virtuoso Denis Kozhukhin.

Plus the 麻豆社 SSO's Chief Conductor Donald Runnicles is joined by Britain's leading mezzo-soprano Sarah Connolly in one of Brahms's most heartfelt works.
