What's Interesting
If there is any symphony that operates like a “double agent,” it is Shostakovich's Fifth. Having found himself targeted by Stalin, Shostakovich composed himself out of a dangerous situation−with immensely gripping results. Stephen Hough returns for Rachmaninoff and Louis Langrée conducts the first part of a new multi-year work by Icelandic composer Daníel Bjarnason.
CSO Co-Commission by Daníel Bjarnason is made possible by Ann and Harry Santen.
What Critics Are Saying:
“Elevation and luminosity, the art of sonority, overwhelming virtuosity, the fingers of Stephen Hough are pure gold.”
—Le Monde
“Collider is one of the best orchestral albums of the year, by one of the world’s finest composers.”
