Kopatchinskaja plays Shostakovich
Patricia Kopatchinskaja unleashes Shostakovich’s First Violin Concerto: explosive, uncompromising, and raw to the core.
This programme comes with a warning: beware, explosive material. Patricia Kopatchinskaja makes music with intense expressivity. She colours outside the lines—praised by many, criticised by some. Those seeking pure tonal beauty might be better off staying at home when she performs Shostakovich’s searing First Violin Concerto. But for those who want music that cuts to the bone, this is a rare opportunity—one night only in the Netherlands.

Music on the cutting edge.

Patricia Kopatchinskaja has been called the wild child of the violin, which is true but also a little demeaning because there is astonishing artistry to complement her creativity.
