Shostakovich's Seventh

Shostakovich’s “Leningrad” is a monumental work of endurance and drama, a vivid narrative of orchestral power that reflects both the horrors and hopes of its wartime creation, realized under the dynamic direction of Dima Slobodeniouk. Acclaimed for his expressive depth, pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet performs Khachaturian’s Piano Concerto, a rhythmically vibrant work that blends lush Romantic lyricism with Armenian folk-inspired melodies. The evening balances monumental symphonic forces with dazzling soloistic color.
