Shostakovich Ten with Queensland Symphony Orchestra
Rebellion and revolution abound as two composers grapple with the turmoil of the 20th century.
Under the command of Alexander Gavrylyuk, Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No.3 is a flurry of virtuosity. Dizzying, surreal melodies portray a sense of sarcastic delight in a work that’s sometimes mischievous, sometimes tender, but always electrifying.
A stunningly virtuosic pianist, Gavrylyuk is internationally recognised for his electrifying and poetic performances. His performance of Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No.3 at the BBC Proms was described as “revelatory” by The Times and “electrifying” by Limelight.
Then witness Shostakovich’s harrowing Symphony No.10, a tour de force of orchestral power, which claws its way from despair to hopeful triumph. Conducted by Queensland Symphony Orchestra’s Umberto Clerici and performed alongside an on-screen showing of South African artist William Kentridge’s film Oh To Believe In Another World.
