Shostakovich's Symphony No. 5 is easily his most famous symphony, while also his bittersweet masterpiece. An immediate success in his native Soviet Union, its themes resonated with his fellow-citizens as it represented his response to the official denunciation of his music by the Soviet government. Also, our very own concertmaster, Ralph Matson, will perform Britten's Concerto for Violin. Britten said of the piece, 'So far it is without question my best piece. It's rather serious, I'm afraid-but its got some tunes in it!'
