Linton Stephens presents a Prom from the Royal Albert Hall in which Nicholas Collon conducts the orchestra in a performance of Shostakovich's Symphony No 5 from memory. Actors join the musicians to bring to life a symphony born in the shadow of Stalin's regime - music on the edge of life and death by a composer treading a dangerous line between political obedience and artistic defiance.
