12. Phil. Konzert: Schostakowitsch - Brahms

In the organizer's words:

Dmitri Shostakovich (1906-1975): Violin Concerto No. 1 in A minor op. 77 (1955)
Johannes Brahms (1833-1897): Symphony No. 4 in E minor op. 98 (1885)

Marko Letonja, conductor
Vadim Gluzman, violin

The end of the season will be breathtaking: the cycle with all Brahms symphonies will be completed and Shostakovich's first violin concerto brings pure drama. A sombre opening, a furious scherzo, an epic passacaglia and a furious finale ? Shostakovich undoubtedly created one of the greatest solo concertos of the 20th century. This is music that is of existential importance and truly gets under your skin. The internationally renowned violinist Vadim Gluzman is the ideal soloist for this bravura piece. Brahms' Fourth Symphony completes his symphonic oeuvre. In his own words, he was "not at all eager to write a bad No. 4". Nor did he - on the contrary: here the composer creates a milestone. And just as the season began with Brahms, it also ends with him. Brahms, Bremen and the Bremen Philharmonic are inseparable.
