Shostakovich’s Violin Concerto & Schumann
Streaming: Saturday, December 3, at 7:45pm EST
Baiba Skride, lauded by "The New York Times" for her “impetuous energy and impressive precision,” is the soloist in a work that churns with brooding pensiveness before launching into a furious finale. Schumann’s glorious celebration of the Rhineland is by turns stately and enigmatic, and features a moving brass chorale inspired by the cathedral at Cologne.
