About

The anniversary evening dedicated to the 120th anniversary of Dmitri Shostakovich will unite two piano concertos, the Ninth Symphony, a suite from the ballet "The Bolt" and the expressive performance of Varvara Myakova in tandem with the Symphony Orchestra of the Moscow Regional Philharmonic. The program allows listeners to hear how the composer's intonation changes from irony to piercing lyricism. The anniversary evening, timed to the 120th anniversary of Dmitri Shostakovich, is structured as a living panorama of his works for piano and orchestra. In one program, two concertos with a solo part by Varvara Myakova, the Ninth Symphony, and a suite from the ballet "The Bolt" are combined - compositions that reflect different stages of the composer's biography and artistic explorations. Concert No. 1 for piano, string orchestra, and trumpet was written in the early 1930s and retains the nerve of that era. The dense musical flow, where street melody intonations, jazz gestures, references to European classics, and echoes of Leningrad's everyday life coexist, gives performers space for dialogue. The soloist acts here as a storyteller, finding the exact balance between irony, grotesque, and inner seriousness, while the orchestra supports and sharpens the contrasts. Concert No. 2 was created significantly later and is dedicated to Maxim Shostakovich. This is a different statement - brighter in colors, with a cohesive melodic line and clear structure. In the second part, one of the composer's most touching themes is born, built on simple yet profound intonations. Varvara Myakova emphasizes in this piece not the flashy virtuosity but the inner voice of the music, bringing to the forefront soft gradations of dynamics and subtle shades of phrasing. Symphony No. 9 and the suite from the ballet "The Bolt" expand the evening's perspective. They feature both witty orchestral discoveries and swift rhythmic episodes, as well as a barely perceptible anxiety that runs through familiar themes. The Symphony Orchestra of the Moscow Regional Philharmonic, under the direction of Viktor Lutsenko, carefully weaves these contrasts into a cohesive narrative, allowing listeners to hear the connections between the early.
