LPO: Patricia Kopatchinskaja plays Shostakovich

4 October @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm

£10

Repertoire

Britten – Sinfonia da Requiem (21’)

Shostakovich – Violin Concerto No. 1 (36’)

Sibelius – Symphony No. 5 (31’)

Performers

Edward Gardner – conductor

Patricia Kopatchinskaja – violin

 

Big music demands big personalities, and they don’t come much bigger than violinist and all-round phenomenon Patricia Kopatchinskaja.

Sibelius sees a flight of swans on a summer evening, and hears a melody that could have been wrought from the elements. Britten opens the emotional floodgates and creates one of 20th-century music’s mightiest outpourings of grief. And Shostakovich whispers secrets in the shadows, in a concerto that refuses to be silent. It’s all about memory, and all about truth. Big music demands big personalities, and they don’t come much bigger than violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja: virtuoso, storyteller and all-round phenomenon. With Edward Gardner conducting, she’ll drive straight to the heart of this powerful programme.
