“Listen within and give yourself time”: With this attitude, violinist Christian Tetzlaff embarks on the interpretation of Dmitri Shostakovich's Second Violin Concerto. The work is a fascinating example of the composer's late style: the dialogue between orchestra and violin develops delicately before both tumble into an expressive dance finale. Sergei Prokofiev's Fifth Symphony contrasts with this contemplative work. Composed as a “Hymn to Free and Happy People,” it unfolds the full orchestral sound — from the majestic beginning to the motorized, ecstatic finale. Paavo Järvi conducts.
