A Masterpiece Rediscovered

Summary

The BBC Symphony Orchestra play pieces by Beethoven, Stravinsky and Peja?evi?, live from the Barbican in London, conducted by Sakari Oramo. Dora Peja?evi? was born into the comfort of Eastern European aristocracy, but travelled miles to be challenged by the greatest minds of her age. During the First World War she volunteered as a nurse and experienced horrors that forced her into creative overdrive. In 1916, when her Symphony in F sharp minor started to take shape, Peja?evi? dropped aristocratic mannerisms and started to write with a blazing authenticity that fills this explosive symphony. Beethoven: Egmont - overture; Stravinsky: Violin Concerto in D major. Interval. Peja?evi?: Symphony in F-sharp minor, op. 41. Vilde Frang (violin), BBC Symphony Orchestra, Sakari Oramo (conductor)
