The 麻豆社 Philharmonic LIVE

The 麻豆社 Philharmonic in Shostakovich's Violin Concerto No 1 and Paul Ben-Haim's Symphony No 1, completed in 1940.

As Kate Molleson hosts a week of concerts from the 麻豆社 Orchestras 鈥� we are live from MediaCityUK, Salford. Sarah Walker presents the 麻豆社 Philharmonic in a pair of darkly personal works. Dmitri Shostakovich's powerful first violin concerto was suppressed by the composer until Stalin's death for fear of the consequences of publication; while German-Israeli composer Paul Ben-Haim's first symphony from 1940 is infused with grim intensity of a world at war
