Leila Josefowicz
Old and new shine light on each other on this absorbing programme. In his super-charged Fifth Symphony, Tchaikovsky meets his inner demons head on and emerges triumphant. The acclaimed violinist Leila Josefowicz performs a recent concerto by British composer Thomas Adès that the newspaper The Guardian has praised as "a work of astonishing fearlessness and fierce beauty," and "Led Zeppelin meets Stravinsky."
