Daniele Rustioni conducts Brahms with the Ulster Orchestra
Daniele Rustioni conducts a programme of Webern, Shostakovich and Brahms with the Ulster Orchestra from the Ulster Hall in Belfast, with violinist Sergey Khachatryan
Daniele Rustioni conducts the Ulster Orchestra at the Ulster Hall in Belfast in a programme beginning with Webern's Passacaglia for Orchestra; written during the summer of 1908 when the composer was 24 years old, and is really a set of orchestral variations full of colour and movement. We then welcome Armenian violinist Sergey Khachatryan to the stage for a performance of Shostakovich's Violin Concerto No. 1 in A minor; first performed in October 1955 the work had in fact been written a few years before, but the composer delayed it's premiere due to Stalinist feelings around what modern music should be. The premiere thus came two years after Stalin's death.
To complete the programme, Brahms' Symphony No. 1 in C minor, a work he completed during the summer of 1876 and which has been often compared to Beethoven's 9th Symphony- indeed on occasion it has been jokingly referred to as "Beethoven's 10th". On one occasion when someone compared it to Beethoven's 'Ode to Joy', Brahms remarked "any idiot can see that"... But it was slightly unfair for people to compare the two works, as this is the First Symphony of a composer who although was writing in the shadow of Beethoven, very much had his own voice.
