Thrilling concert tonight! Music written in 17yr period by Bridge, Shostakovich and Stravinsky. Virtuoso performance from the BBC Philharmonic and John Storgårds - the roof was definitely shaking! Lots of collaborative shoe shuffling amongst players - great teamwork as always 👏
Making this disc right now, with exactly these pieces and forces, became a project of special meaning and significance for all of us. I hope and think that you can hear it 🎧🎶🔥BBC Philharmonic Chandos Records BBC Radio 3 MediaCityUK #EstonianNationalMaleChoir #Dohmen #BabiyYar
