Dmitri Shostakovich's Second Violin Concerto is sonically intense and moving. Although it is in a minor key, it also radiates great hope. Shostakovich's concerto is a favorite work of Isabelle Faust, who is associated with the WDR Symphony Orchestra as Artist in Residence. This is no surprise, since her unique playing combines perfection and brilliance on the one hand, with tremendous depth on the other. As a highlight of the season's closing performance, Cristian Măcelaru conducts the Third Symphony by his Romanian compatriot George Enescu. This opulent work for orchestra and choir overwhelms with its power and strength.
