BBC National Orchestra & National Chorus of Wales - VENUE CHANGE

 Conductor     Ryan Bancroft
 Soloist     Jonathan Biss, piano
     James Platt, bass
     BBC National Chorus of Wales
 Beethoven     Piano Concerto No 1
 Shostakovich     Symphony No 13 ‘Babi Yar’

 

From its boldly assertive opening phrase to whimsical and playful finale, Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 1 is one of the most grand and daring work of its generation. Often referred to by its nickname Babi Yar, Shostakovich’s theatrical, bitterly humorous
and transcendent 13th Symphony sets the words of Yevtushenko, depicting the atrocities of Operation Barbarossa on the Jews in Russia. Silenced for over 20 years due to Khrushchev’s objections to its anti-Semitic undertones, this symphony saw a resurgence in popularity in the late 20th century – unsurprising given the ingenuity and nuance of Shostakovich’s music, from its sharp contrast, quick wit, and ambivalent tonal centre, combined with a subtle classicism and romantic yearning.
