Shostakovich

Symphony No. 5 in D minor, Op. 47

Marin Alsop returns to Budapest after nearly ten years, once again at the helm of the Budapest Festival Orchestra. The American conductor, widely regarded as a pioneer among female maestros, arrives with a large-scale violin concerto and a Shostakovich symphony, and a symphonic poem to completing the evening. Alsop, who is also the principal guest conductor of both the Philadelphia Orchestra and the Philharmonia Orchestra, is herself an excellent violin player, so we can expect her to have a particularly sensitive rapport with the evening’s soloist, the Serbian-French violinist Nemanja Radulović. Radulović is renowned for his “lyrical delicacy and super-virtuosity” (The Times) and swears by an exciting fusion of tradition and bold experimentation. He will perform Samuel Barber’s only violin concerto. The audience will first hear Richard Strauss’s passionate music, followed by Shostakovich’s grotesque apology, written during the Stalinist purges.
