Classical Destinations S02E13 - Moscow: Dimitri Shostakovich & Sergei Prokofiev

What finer way to finish Series II than by returning to Moscow where we look at the politics's impact on the life and music of Shostakovich and Prokofiev. We are treated to a mesmerizing choral performance inside the Kremlin's grand Cathedral of the Archangel. A stunning performance of two movements from Prokofiev's Sonata for Two Violins is given by Richard Tognetti and Satu Vänskä, the Australian Chamber Orchestra's Artistic Director and Assistant Leader respectively.
