Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Violin Concerto No.5 in A, K.219
Interval
Dmitry Shostakovich: Symphony No.10 in E minor
Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
Pinchas Zukerman conductor, violin
A programme of fascinating contrasts, juxtaposing the sunny temperament of Mozart with Shostakovich's haunting Symphony No.10.
In his Overture to the Marriage of Figaro, Mozart sends flurries of notes bustling across the orchestra, sparkling with a melodic brilliance that cannot fail to delight.
The Fifth Violin Concerto reveals other facets of Mozart's character - graceful delicacy, and an exquisitely wistful slow movement.
Written after Stalin's death, Shostakovich's Tenth Symphony veers from brooding contemplation to the scurrying second movement - when, as in Mozart's Overture, notes fly across the orchestra at breakneck speed.
