Orchestre de Paris & Rafael Payare at Paris Philharmonic
Elegant and carried by the irresistible blend of woodwind timbres, Mozart's Symphonie concertante provides the serenity needed to face Shostakovich's long musical narrative, full of drama and sarcasm, a secret account of Stalinism. Composed in 1778 in the spirit of a concerto grosso, Mozart’s work features a woodwind quartet engaging in a dialogue with the orchestra and each other. Shostakovich's Symphony No. 10, characterized by epic grandeur and haunting sounds, is often associated with the death of Stalin, featuring a scherzo that serves as a harsh musical portrait of the dictator.
