Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra: Petrenko's Shostakovich

О событии

Vasily Petrenko and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra present works by Wagner and Shostakovich. Also taking the stage is the famous Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Chorus.

“In this realm, time becomes space…” From CS Lewis to Terry Gilliam, Wagner’s Parsifal has been an inspiration to the very greatest creative artists. But if you don’t have the time (or inclination) for four hours of German opera, this extraordinary ‘Parsifal Symphony’ weaves all the visionary beauty of Wagner’s final masterpiece into one sumptuous orchestral tapestry. First, though, comes the perfect antidote to seriousness. The Soviet authorities thought that Shostakovich’s Ninth was too entertaining to be a ‘proper’ Ninth Symphony – though if you’ve been following the RLPO's critically acclaimed series of Shostakovich recordings, you’ll know that Petrenko and the Orchestra should uncover some powerful hidden depths. Meanwhile, three rarely‐heard Shostakovich miniatures offer a striking showcase for the famous Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Choir.
