SHOSTAKOVICH | Symphony no. 5

The HK Phil welcomes the return of two artists who gave exhilarating performances last season. Paavo Järvi returns with Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony – the composer’s most frequently performed work and a testament to an era of struggle and oppression. Also returning is Luxembourgish violinist Alena Baeva, who brings us Stravinsky’s meticulously structured Violin Concerto, widely considered his best orchestral work. Rimsky-Korsakov’s Capriccio espagnol is a perfect opener for the concert, as it echoes the dance-like qualities of Stravinsky’s neo-classical concerto.

Artists:

Paavo Järvi | conductor

Alena Baeva | violin
