Dmitri Shostakovich

Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but the warm brew in your cup is delightful. Composers thought so too!

In an encore Boston Symphony Orchestra broadcast, Latvian violinist Baiba Skride is the soloist in Shostakovich’s Violin Concerto No. 1, and Andris Nelsons leads the orchestra in works by Pärt and Stravinsky, as well as Saariaho’s "Saarikoski Songs," with soprano Anu Komsi.

Anna Rakitina leads the Boston Symphony Orchestra in Borodin’s “Polovtsian Dances” and Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 3, “The First of May,” and violinist Gil Shaham is the soloist in Dvorak’s rustically brilliant Violin Concerto.

It's an evening dedicated to the BSO's rich recording discography, centered on Johannes Brahms's Symphony No. 2 and Dmitri Shostakovich's Symphony No. 1 with Music Director Andris Nelsons, plus works by Thomas Adès and Ferruccio Busoni.

If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is “Thank You,” it will be enough. ~Meister Eckhart
