About
‘This music draws incredible strength from the violent intersection of an overpowering will to live and the inevitability of death. First comes hope, tenderness, magical and miraculous flights. Followed by sarcasm, irony, revolt. And finally nostalgia, sluggishness, despair, and the hopeless aspect of an opaque hereafter with no return. As Shostakovich himself said, “If you play my music well, flies should drop dead.” The despair that grows ceaselessly throughout his work can become unbearable – it must be experienced in concert.
‘Extreme situations can open paths to understanding and revelation. Here, they can be summarized by the following paradox: nowhere have I encountered anyone speak to me about death in such a bracing, powerful and vibrant way.’
