Dmitri Shostakovich was among the most important creative artists in 20th-century Russian music, one whose life and works are full of contradictions. Even while finding himself forced to withdraw several of his compositions, he was repeatedly presented with the highest state awards. The conductor Thomas Sanderling was a close personal friend and professional associate of his and led the premieres of several of his important works. Each piece in the programme for this concert by the MÁV Symphony Orchestra holds special significance, with three of the four receiving their first performance in a Hungarian concert hall. As the soloist, we will get to welcome the world-famous cellist Gustav Rivinius, who teaches at the Saarbrücken Music Academy and the Maastricht Conservatory.
Presented by: MÁV Symphony Orchestra
