Rafael Payare conductor

Shostakovich Symphony no 10 in E minor op 93
 

Rafael Payare, Chief Conductor of the Ulster Orchestra, conducts the RCM Philharmonic in Shostakovich's powerful Tenth Symphony. From tragedy to triumph, the symphony is widely speculated to depict Stalin’s time in power, travelling through terrifying march and waltz movements complete with military drums. It concludes with a victorious chord symbolising the end of his rule.
