Leiden Shostakovich weekend
We’re still glowing from the fantastic weekend in Leiden - the stunning new chamber hall of the Almarktzaal - for the complete Shostakovich cycle. The audience was great, so enthusiastic and engaged throughout. Susanne Lammers is the perfect host: full of great energy and love for the music as well as her knowing her audience and trusting them with imaginative programming and innovative themes. Great plans for the future...
This has really added to our sense of growing excitement in anticipation of the cycle this time next year at the Musiekgebouw, Amsterdam, which will be recorded live for release through Chandos the soon afterwards. It’s wonderful to have another chance to put these giants of the repertoire into our catalogue, 25 years after we first recorded them.
