Russian Vaughan-Williams and International Shostakovich

[Nick Armstrong]

May I draw members' attention to a couple of cracking concerts in the new season at the RFH this October?

First, the Russian National Orchestra in this programme on the Thursday 4 October:

Ralph Vaughan Williams: Symphony No.6 in E minor
Interval
Sergey Prokofiev: Symphony No.5 in B flat

Russian National Orchestra
Vladimir Jurowski conductor

And then on the Friday (5 October), this one by the LPO and RNO combined!

Tchai.... (You can arrive a little late for this concert... .)
Benjamin Britten: Lachrymae (Reflections on a song of Dowland), Op.48 arr. for viola & strings
Interval
Dmitry Shostakovich: Symphony No.7 in C (Leningrad)

London Philharmonic Orchestra
Russian National Orchestra
Vladimir Jurowski conductor
Lawrence Power viola

Does he need two orchestras to play the Leningrad?

[Boilk]

Does he need two orchestras to play the Leningrad?

Possibly. One to play it, and the other to show how it should have been played.

[Parry1912]

Does he need two orchestras to play the Leningrad?

I seem to recall that Gergiev needed two for his recording of it.
