Morning Masterworks 2: Rachmaninov & Shostakovich
Start your Friday with a touch of classical brilliance with this Morning Masterworks concert. Two deeply personal Russian masterworks, worlds apart yet intimately connected. Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No.2 is an enduring testament to lyrical beauty and heartfelt longing. In sharp contrast, Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony is an intense declaration of survival, composed under Stalin’s oppressive gaze. Though triumphant on its surface, this symphony vibrates with hidden irony and emotional tension that moved its first audience to tears. Chief Conductor Umberto Clerici leads Queensland Symphony Orchestra in this powerful program, joined by exceptional pianist Konstantin Shamray, whose command and sensitivity make him the ideal interpreter of Rachmaninov’s masterpiece (2nd movement only). Experience an evening filled with intensity, emotion, and extraordinary music. Queensland Symphony Orchestra is proudly supported by Brisbane City Council.
