Incisiveness and virtuosity: Adams, Tippett and Shostakovich with the BBC Symphony Orchestra

Chris Garlick, 22nd March

What a wonderful season the BBC Symphony Orchestra is having. Adventurous, not fashion-conscious programming, and a crispness in the playing that is quite distinctive and utterly refreshing. And whoever had the idea to feature the works of Michael Tippett, in Britten’s centenary year, needs to be promoted.
