Pinchas Zukerman & Royal Philharmonic Orchestra

演出简介

Conductor and violinist Pinchas Zukerman and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra perform works by Mozart and Shostakovich in London's Royal Festival Hall at the Southbank Centre.

A programme of fascinating contrasts, juxtaposing the sunny temperament of Mozart with Shostakovich's haunting Symphony No.10.

In his Overture to the Marriage of Figaro, Mozart sends flurries of notes bustling across the orchestra, sparkling with a melodic brilliance that cannot fail to delight. The Fifth Violin Concerto reveals other facets of Mozart's character — graceful delicacy, and an exquisitely wistful slow movement.

Written after Stalin's death, Shostakovich's Tenth Symphony veers from brooding contemplation to the scurrying second movement — when, as in Mozart's Overture, notes fly across the orchestra at breakneck speed.
