LSO Principal Guest Conductor Gianandrea Noseda continues his survey of
Shostakovich with the monumental Symphony No.4. Extravagant and
challenging in equal measure, it's a work of epic proportions, requiring
over a hundred musicians - including large percussion and brass
sections. Owing to Soviet censure, the work went unperformed for almost
thirty years after it was completed, until in 1961 it was revealed as
one of the significant milestones of the composer's output - the work
that solidified his reputation as a master symphonist.
