Melodically heartfelt and rhythmically captivating – Antonín Dvořák’s Violin Concerto blends Bohemian dance music with the lush colors of late Romantic orchestration. Stepping in for Hilary Hahn, soloist Benjamin Beilman will bring his own form of expression to the work’s tender and passionate moments. Andris Nelsons then leads us into an entirely different sound world with Dmitri Shostakovich’s Tenth Symphony – a searing reckoning with the Stalin regime, marked by aggressive march rhythms, dissonant harmonies, and profound sorrow. The concert opens with Marcel Dupré’s festive Cortège et Litanie, featuring Jan Liebermann on the Philharmonie’s organ.
