Shostakovich with Tarmo Peltokoski
Hope and fear, desire and resistance alternate in a swirling stream that inexorably drags the listener along.
Perhaps it was a secret love that gave him wings, or perhaps the relief of Stalin's death – the fact is that Shostakovich wrote one of his most inspired symphonies with his Tenth. Hope and fear, desire and resistance alternate in a swirling stream that inexorably drags the listener along. To top it off, world trombonist Jörgen van Rijen will perform with a brand-new concert. Strap in!

Shostakovich Tenth Symphony


permanent guest conductor

Shostakovich's Tenth Symphony is a delight for every percussionist, but even apart from that he is one of my favorite composers. His music sounds so poignantly honest to me!
