Master Series 12 - Triumphant Shostakovich

Friday 15 October, 8pm
Saturday 16 October, 6:30pm

Festival Theatre

Arvo Volmer: Conductor
Bernd Glemser: Piano

Anne Cawrse: New Work (Scheuler Prize 2010)*

Rachmaninov: Rhapsody on a Themem of Paganini
Liszt: Totentanz
Shostakovich: Symphony No 5

This concert includes a special work commissioned by the ASO with the support of the Schueler Composition Award (2010), established through the generosity of Mr Norman Schueler and Mrs Carol Schueler, in honour of Mrs Gogo Schueler. Bernd Glemser, with rock solid
technique and take-no-prisoners virtuosity, is equally at home with Liszt’s wonderfully macabre bravura and the quicksilver brilliance and wit of Rachmaninov. Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony originally titled
‘A Soviet Artist’s Reply to Just Criticism’ with the uniquely visceral excitement of its climaxes, is one of the few twentieth century symphonies to acquire the coveted status of a ‘classic’. Is there an undercurrent of cynicism and irony beneath the epic dimensions? You be the judge. *world premiere

London’s famous West End was the crucible of the revival of the contemporary musical, and has had a long tradition of immortal shows. This concert, direct from London, and featuring leading artists from the West End stage, is a stirring celebration of this wonderful tradition. With hits from Oliver!, The Lion King, Chess and Les Miserables, together with songs from Lloyd-Webber’s genre-reviving classics Cats and Sunset Boulevard, here is a rare opportunity to experience this music in its full glory.
