Järvi conducts in London

Paavo Järvi

conductor

Kirill Gerstein

piano

Glinka

Overture, Ruslan and Ludmila

Rachmaninov

Piano Concerto No. 3

Shostakovich

Symphony No. 5

Paavo Järvi conducts an all-Russian programme including Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony. It seems there was no escaping the censorious spotlight of Stalin’s cultural watchdogs. Shostakovich had effectively been backed into a corner when he produced his all-conquering Fifth Symphony as an ‘artist’s response to just criticism’. Even Rachmaninov, then living in America, wasn’t spared when in the 1930s he was declared ‘an enemy of Russia’ and his music outlawed.
