Göteborgs Symfoniker - Karina Canellakis & Augustin Hadelich

Description

The highly sought-after conductor Karina Canellakis visits Göteborgs Symfoniker together with the star violinist Augustin Hadelich. Hear Bartók's intense violin concerto and Shostakovich's masterly final symphony, full of musical pranks and a whole lifetime's experience of artistry under political pressure. The conductor Karina Canellakis is internationally acclaimed for her intensity and her ability to combine analytical sharpness with emotionally charged performances. Born and raised in New York, she is a frequent guest with leading orchestras in Europe and the USA. The violin soloist Augustin Hadelich is one of the most sought-after violinists of our time, whom we now finally get the chance to experience together with Göteborgs Symfoniker. He is acclaimed for his depth and great presence, and Bartók's intense violin concerto is a masterpiece he commands like few others. After the interval Canellakis and the orchestra show their full range in Dmitri Shostakovich's Symphony No. 15. The composer's last symphony became one of his most enigmatic works. Playful musical quotations and sudden outbursts of gravity create a multi-layered whole. A ticking sound in the music foreshadows Shostakovich's allotted time in his old age. ”Perhaps I am on my way out, but the music will remain forever.” Programme: Wagner: Lohengrin: Prelude to Act Bartók: Violin Concerto No. 2 Shostakovich: Symphony No. 15
