Dmitri Shostakovich
Festive Overture

Benjamin Britten
Advance Democracy
Ballad of Heroes

Ludwig van Beethoven
Symphony No.9

Dmitri Shostakovich’s joyful festive overture is followed by two rarely-performed choral works on radical political themes by his great friend Benjamin Britten. Beethoven’s 9th symphony with its message of universal joy and brotherhood remains as potent today as when it was first composed.
