BBC Promenade Concerts 1992 : St Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra, Royal Albert Hall, London (GB) - Aug 25, 1992

Mariss Jansons conductor, Mikhail Rudy piano. They played the overture to Rossini’s The Thieving Magpie, Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No 2 in C Minor and Shostakovich’s Symphony No 5 in D Minor. This orchestral music isn’t exactly my first choice but I’ve always found something of interest in Shostakovich. This orchestra was, of course, previously (until last year) named the Leningrad Symphony Orchestra.
