The Hallé and Nikolaj Znaider: Ninth Symphonies of Beethoven and Shostakovich

Rohan Shotton, 24th May

Nikolaj Znaider concluded the Hallé Beethoven cycle in emphatic fashion, preceding the Choral Symphony with another ninth symphony, that of Shostakovich. The football-style roar from the sell-out audience at the end of the evening was a good indicator of the quality of the concert.
