Concert

Alexander Sladkovsky / Julian Rachlin

A Russian conductor for a Russian program. The overture of Prince Igor begins the evening followed by the only concerto for violin and orchestra composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, written on the shores of Lake Geneva in the spring of 1878, a poignant masterpiece entrusted to Julian Rachlin and his 1704 Stradivarius.  In the second half of the program, the tenth Symphony of Dmitri Shostakovich, in which the orchestra draws a 'portrait of Stalin' to then tear it to pieces with the four notes of the final theme, composed of the initials of the composer. In German notation the notes D, Eb, C, B are indicated as D, S, C, H, or D. Sch., initials in German of Dimitrij Shostakovich.
