Lawrence Power (viola)
BBC Philharmonic
John Storgards (conductor)

As their acclaimed Shostakovich recording series continues, the BBC Philharmonic and Chief Conductor John Storgards bring one of the composer's boldest symphonies to the Proms. The Fourth, a bleak and ferociously powerful work, was withdrawn before its planned premiere for fear of reprisal from Joseph Stalin, who had recently denounced Shostakovich's opera 'Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District'. Before the interval we hear Canadian composer Cassandra Miller's new work for viola and orchestra titled 'I cannot love without trembling' and written for leading player Lawrence Power.

Presented by Tom McKinney, live from the Royal Albert Hall, London
