Work: Symphony no. 4 in F minor, Op.36

The Conductor Laureate brings a balletic sense to a programme of Weinberg, Shostakovich and Tchaikovsky that nodded to dancing as a theme.

Mozart's “Elvira Madigan” Piano Concerto is played with grace and style by Benjamin Grosvenor; Andrey Boreyko and LPO gives gripping accounts of Sibelius and Tchaikovsky. 

After Christopher Cerrone’s The Insects Became Magnetic, Giorgi Gigashvili’s Mozart and a searing Tchaikovsky symphony make for an uplifting Manchester matinee.
