Violinist Benjamin Baker performs Brahms’ epic violin concerto in a concert featuring two monumental pieces that serve as the pinnacles of their genres. Baker’s playing creates “a supernaturally beautiful atmosphere” and exudes “the fruit of serious readiness combined with cultured musicianship and flawless intonation” (The Arts Desk). Intermission is followed by a dramatic performance of one of the great symphonies of the 20th century - Shostakovich’s Fifth. This assertive and satirical yet aching masterpiece is one for the ages.
Repertoire:
Johannes Brahms | Violin Concerto in D Major, Op. 77
Dmitri Shostakovich | Symphony No. 5 in D Minor, Op. 47
Soloist:
Benjamin Baker, violin
