Penny Gore begins a week in which she introduces some memorable performances by the BBC Symphony Orchestra, which celebrates its ninetieth anniversary this season. There will be performances directed by many of the orchestra's recent principal and guest conductors including Sakari Oramo, Jukka-Pekka Saraste, Martyn Brabbins and Jiri Belohlavek, who conducts Mozart in today's programme. Also today a performance of Shostakovich made in lockdown on the very day that the soprano soloist won the 2020 Royal Philharmonic Society Singer Award.
