Join the great musical centrifuge with this gut-wrenching concert. Never has it been more relevant to mock the urge of Russian intellectuals to express themselves despite changing oppressive regimes – an unfortunately recurring relevant theme. Shostakovich had to wait until after Stalin's death to have his daring and emotionally charged 1st Violin Concerto premiered - with a solo part so demanding that David Oistrach himself had to ask the composer for just an 8-measure break at the start of the 3rd movement because in it at least to be able to wipe the sweat from the forehead! It is a wild concert on all parameters – not least the 6-minute long solo cadenza is unique in the repertoire.
