For Dmitri Shostakovich, his Fifth Symphony wasn’t just a matter of life and death – it was more important than that. In the hands of dynamic guest conductor Omer Meir Wellber, it’s one of 20th century music’s most unforgettable experiences. And talking of unforgettable, meet Giovanni Sollima. There’s no-one quite like this Italian cello sensation, whether going solo in Dvorák’s gorgeous Concerto, or teaming up with the RSNO’s own Aleksei Kiseliov for his jaw-dropping cello love-in, vibrez!

Superb Shostakovich from Søndergård

Julie Jozwiak, 23rd November

The RSNO’s latest concert was entitled “Dvořák Cello Concerto”, but it was Thomas Søndergård's brilliant direction of Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony which proved the highlight.
