Shostakovich’s fifth
The American conductor Marin Alsop will be guesting at Berwaldhallen again, treating us to music with a literary inspiration together with the Swedish Radio Choir and the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra. Samuel Barber’s beautiful Essay for Orchestra No. 2 will be followed by Leonard Bernstein’s choral work Chichester Psalms with its rhythmically intricate vocal parts. We will also hear Dmitri Shostakovich’s highly personal Symphony No. 5, the finale of which is inspired by Alexander Pushkin’s poem Vozrozhdenie (Rebirth).
