Shostakovich’s Leningrad Symphony marches defiantly out of the war-ravaged city in which it was composed. The deprivation of the German siege is one of the blackest pages in Russian history, but the Symphony resounds as a testament to the indomitable spirit of the city and its inhabitants. Best Young British Performer of 2006 and Listener’s Choice winner in the 2006 Gramophone Awards, Alison Balsom is acclaimed all over the world for her exquisite tone and flawless technique.
