Description
A declaration against terror, violence and war: Dmitri Shostakovich’s Seventh Symphony, written during the siege of Leningrad by German troops, established the composer’s worldwide fame. The work powerfully denounces the horrors of fascism and, in its more gentle passages, is also an appeal to humanity. The programme with Yannick Nézet-Séguin – whose posts include music director of the New York Met – opens with the young Clara Schumann’s mellifluous and heartfelt Piano Concerto. As the soloist, the Italian pianist Beatrice Rana makes her debut with the Berlin Philharmonic.
