The SWSO are delighted to welcome back Alex Redington, leader of the Doric String Quartet, to perform Shostakovich's mighty Violin Concerto No.1. We open with two short extracts from Prokofiev's opera The Love for Three Oranges, the March and Scherzo. These are full of wit, sarcasm and absurdity.
Written in 1947-8, Shostakovich's Violin Concerto No.1 was premiered by dedicatee David Oistrakh in 1955. In four movements, it is a monumental work. We close with Rachmaninov's exuberant Symphony No.3, written while he was in Switzerland. This is considered to be his most 'Russian' symphony, full of rhythm and energy.
