Shostakovich’s defiant Symphony No.7 was written as Hitler’s armies surrounded the city of Leningrad and bombs rained down on a starving population. Here, the ‘transcendental’ (The Arts Desk) Royal Philharmonic Orchestra performs the powerful piece to an immersive three-channel film conceived by Russian filmmaker Kirill Serebrennikov and video artist Ilya Shagalov, capturing the resilience of the human spirit.
