Dmitri Shostakovich: Symphony No.\u00a05\u00a0in D minor, op. 47
\n***
\nSergei Prokofiev: Alexander Nevsky \u2013 cantata, op. 78<\/p>\n
Atala Sch\u00f6ck<\/strong> alto<\/p>\n Hungarian National Choir <\/strong>(choirmaster: Csaba Somos<\/strong>) Conductor: Alexander<\/b> Sladkovsky <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Two 20th century Russian contemporaries, both of whom suffered under the Soviet system and were time and again victims of the \u2018cultural policy\u2019 of the dictatorship. Prokofiev, who had returned to his homeland from the West in the hope of recognition, originally composed this work as the soundtrack for Eisenstein\u2019s film The Knight of the Ice Fields<\/em>.<\/strong>Shostakovich\u2019s Symphony No. 5<\/em> is one of his most important orchestral works. As he directs these two compositions, the concert\u2019s Russian-Tatar conductor will be moving in his most familiar field.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The two works are representative of the same period in time: Prokofiev wrote the Alexander Nevsky<\/em> cantata in 1938\/39, Shostakovich his Symphony No. 5<\/em> in 1937. When creating the seven-movement cantata, Prokofiev preserved the pathos, rich sound and expansive gestures of the soundtrack of the film that illustrated the historical clash. In this work, the often angular, ironic and sarcastic Prokofiev produces a powerful Slavic voice with folk-nationalistic elements, to the extent that you often have the feeling the stylistic roots of the work reach as far back as Modest Mussorgsky in the realms of the Russian past. Shostakovich\u2019s Symphony No. 5<\/em> was one of the composer\u2019s truly great successes, though this remarkably evocative and powerful work was received one way by the general public, and quite another way by official critics, who tended to think more in terms of political rhetoric. At the premier in Leningrad, the audience responded with half an hour of applause (many wept during the Largo<\/em> movement). While the audience interpreted the piece as a cry of woe from the victims of Stalin\u2019s terror , state analysts saw this symphonic Bildungsroman as \u201cthe character development of Soviet man\u201d. The conductor for the concert is the 55-year-old Alexander Sladkovsky, who was born in Taganrog and is the artistic director for the Tatarstan National Symphony Orchestra.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cDear Friends!<\/em><\/p>\n I\u00a0am extremely happy to greet all classical music lovers ahead of \u00bbThe Knight of the Ice\u00a0Fields\u00ab concert\u00a0with the Hungarian National Philharmonic. It gives me such a great pleasure to perform together with one of the best orchestras, in\u00a0Budapest which\u00a0is the centre of music life of Hungary and a marvellous European capital. It will be a special honour for\u00a0me\u00a0to share the stage with such professionals. \u00a0The name of maestro Shostakovich has a large significance also for the\u00a0Tatarstan\u00a0National Symphony Orchestra, which I have been directing during almost twelve years as Dmitri Shostakovich played a crucial role in its founding in 1966, while in 2017 we recorded all of Shostakovich\u2019s symphonies and concertos paying thus tribute to the great composer.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Performing the works of Prokofiev and Shostakovich fills\u00a0me\u00a0with pride and elation every time.\u00a0I\u00a0am looking forward to our concert in Budapest! During these uneasy\u00a0times\u00a0that we all have been through over the last year the higher and magical power of academic music proves to be more vital than ever before. I wish inspiration to all participants of the concert and unforgettable emotions to the spectators.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
