Bohuslav Martinů - Memorial to Lidice
Sergei Prokofiev - Piano Concerto No. 5
Dmitri Shostakovich - Symphony No. 5
36-year-old French conductor Ludovic Morlot has been making quite a name for himself in recent years, leading to his recent appointment as Music Director of the Seattle Symphony Orchestra.
He begins a programme of high emotion with Martinu’s musical ‘memorial’ to the dead of the Czech village of Lidice, massacred by the Nazis in 1942. Just as intense, in its own way, is Prokofiev’s last piano concerto – perhaps the most demanding of them all for both soloist and orchestra. And finally, Shostakovich’s best known symphony, a spectacular piece that still divides opinion as to how much it shows its composer yielding to Stalinist pressure and how much it contains coded hints of defiance against oppression.
Prelude: 6.45pm in the Recital Room
Before the final concert in our complete Prokofiev piano concerto cycle, David Nice sums up the composer’s achievement.
Post-Concert Coda (approximately 10 minutes after the main concert):
Denis Kozhukhin plays Prokofiev’s Sonata No.5 in C major, Op.38.
