One fast-rising star and one firmly established. The inimitable Patricia Kopatchinskaja returns to the festival for this concert with the BBC Symphony Orchestra under the latest conducting sensation to have emerged from Finland, Tarmo Peltokoski. After soothing Vaughan Williams and stimulating Schoenberg, we hear Shostakovich’s symphonic bid to save his own life in the face of Stalin’s wrath. The composer’s Symphony No. 5 is his most enduring of all, a spiritual battle in which he disguises protest as praise, creating his most bracing and powerful music in the process.

Stravinsky’s ​Violin Concerto comes to life in the hands of Patricia Kopatchinskaja — whom The New York Times calls “a player of rare expressive energy.” Brahms spent over 20 years writing his First Symphony; by turns somber, stormy, hushed, and heroic, the work established the Romantic’s unequivocal command of the genre. Jakub Hrůša opens the program by conducting Jessie Montgomery’s anticipated Project 19 premiere.
