Shostakovich 5

Sat, Oct 18, 2025, 19:00
Kulturpalast Dresden, Konzertsaal (Dresden)
Krzysztof Urbański (Conductor), Alina Ibragimova (Violin), Dresdner Philharmonie
The Fifth Symphony by Dmitri Shostakovich was composed in 1937 during a time of great personal and political tension. After facing criticism of his music from the Soviet government, he had to prove himself once again - and created a work that impressed both the regime and deeply moved his audience. Full of tragedy, hope, and subtle irony, Shostakovich's symphony reflects his courage and genius. Today, in this gripping masterpiece, one can hear the power of a composer who used music as the language of the soul. Equally captivating is the Violin Concerto by the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius. Nordic expanses, passionate melodies, and virtuosic solos merge into an unparalleled auditory experience. The violin tells tales of longing and adventure, of quiet moments and powerful outbursts. This concerto is a celebration for the senses - captivating, touching, and unforgettable.

Concertgebouw Orchestra plays Shostakovich' Symphony No. 7

Thu, Apr 24, 2025, 20:15
Het Concertgebouw, Main Hall (Amsterdam)
Concertgebouw Orchestra, Semyon Bychkov (Conductor)
It was during the siege of Leningrad (now St Petersburg) by the Nazis that Shostakovich composed the bulk of his Seventh Symphony, a monumental, poignant requiem for a ravaged city and for the victims of totalitarian regimes everywhere. For conductor Semyon Bychkov, who was born and educated in that city, the ‘Leningrad’ Symphony has great historical and personal significance.Almost a year after Leningrad was taken, the symphony was performed in the besieged city by local musicians, most of whom had been temporarily released from service on the front. Thanks to loudspeakers placed along the trenches, even the Nazis themselves would have heard the concert. The symphony had profound symbolic significance for the Russians and garnered great international acclaim. But later, there was criticism: Soviet officials found the work lacking in heroism, while Shostakovich was seen in the West as Stalin’s puppet. Today, the symphony is considered not so much a literal commentary on the siege of Leningrad as a fierce indictment of oppression and violence, and a most compelling requiem for their victims everywhere.As a very young conductor, Semyon Bychkov faced opposition because his political ideas did not conform to the official Soviet line. ‘I wanted to be free to make my own decisions,’ he says. ‘And I wanted to be free not to lie.’ Bychkov emigrated to the United States in 1974. Ten years later, he conducted the Concertgebouw Orchestra for the very first time – the beginning of a long and fruitful collaboration.
