Work: Slava's Fanfare

Neither Prokofiev nor Dutilleux is a exactly a failsafe at the box office, and the combination of both - and a rainy afternoon - left quite a few seats unclaimed at last night's Prom by the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Valery Gergiev.Which was a shame.

Si le violoncelliste s'est montré inspiré dans le Premier Concerto de Chostakovitch, Andrés Orozco-Estrada est passé à côté d'un concert qui n'a pas proposé la fête attendue.
