The classical musical world tends to pay more attention to people who have recording contracts, Ruth tells t5m. As a result, she decided to record a CD that represented her, so she recorded Shostakovich’s 1st symphony, which was her final recital at college.
During the recital process, she realised that the piece was written for four hands. with the assistance of a tape. She contacted the archives in Moscow, New York, Paris, London in desperate search for the piece, but no one knew where it was. In the end, she decided to perform the piece with the Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by Ben Wallfisch.
