Two deeply personal Russian masterworks, worlds apart yet intimately connected.
Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No.2 is an enduring testament to lyrical beauty and heartfelt longing. In sharp contrast, Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony is an intense declaration of survival, composed under Stalin’s oppressive gaze. Though triumphant on its surface, this symphony vibrates with hidden irony and emotional tension that moved its first audience to tears.
Chief Conductor Umberto Clerici leads Queensland Symphony Orchestra in this powerful program, joined by exceptional pianist Konstantin Shamray, whose command and sensitivity make him the ideal interpreter of Rachmaninov’s masterpiece.
This performance also includes Catalogue of Sky, an intriguing fanfare by Brisbane-born composer Cathy Milliken.
Experience an evening filled with intensity, emotion, and extraordinary music.
