Shostakovich and Rachmaninov with Chailly and the Gewandhaus Orchestra Leipzig

Rohan Shotton, 25th October

Arguably the highest-profile visiting orchestra of the season, Riccardo Chailly brought his Leipzig orchestra to Birmingham for a duo of 20th-century Russian works. The large audience was not disappointed, Rachmaninov’s second symphony in particular shining in a magnificent performance.
