What to expect
The Orchestre National de Lyon, conducted by Nikolaj Szeps-Znaider, plays Sjostakovitsj's Seventh Symphony and Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 25 with soloist Inon Barnatan.
Sjostakovitsj completed the Seventh Symphony in 1941, after he was evacuated from Leningrad, as the first of his three war symphonies.
The work is dedicated to Leningrad, which was besieged by German troops from 1941 to 1944 and where 1.5 million inhabitants died of hardship and famine.
"The music is about terror, slavery and the suppression of the spirit," the composer said.
