Beethoven & Shostakovich
- concert
- classical music
Going on stage is like launching a rocket into space. Maxim Vengerov joins the London Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Sir Antonio Pappano and lights up the Grand Auditorium with Beethoven’s brilliant Violin Concerto. Dmitri Shostakovich's 8th Symphony invites reflection on the tragedy of war. It is said that the composer even considered naming his work: "Beyond the cosmos, the Earth is heading for its doom." However, beauty eventually triumphs over evil in the final movement—a sign that there is still time to change course.
