Liszt: Piano Concerto no. 2
Shostakovich: Symphony no. 4 in c minor Op. 43

Berlin Philharmonic
Alexandre Kantorow, piano
Tugan Sokhiev, conductor

In his Fourth Symphony, with its dance and marching motifs, its musical fragmentation and its stunning, prolonged coda, Shostakovich presents a harrowing depiction of the horrors of Stalin’s dictatorship. Conductor Tugan Sokhiev combines this monumental work with Franz Liszt’s Second Piano Concerto, a piece full of virtuosity and depth of expression. The soloist, French pianist Alexandre Kantorow, makes his debut with the Berlin Philharmonic in this concert.
