Beethoven's Symphony No. 8 and Shostakovich's Cello Concerto No. 1
About the event
Experience the masterful sounds of Truls Mørk in Shostakovich's Cello Concerto No. 1 and enjoy Beethoven's sparkling Eighth Symphony with the Netherlands Chamber Orchestra. Truls Mørk in Shostakovich's Cello Concerto No. 1
Truls Mørk, making her debut with the Netherlands Chamber Orchestra, has made no fewer than two phenomenal recordings of Shostakovich's First Cello Concerto. The cello's menacing, repeated melody in the first movement makes the Cello Concerto a 'must hear' – as if the cello is constantly balancing between protest and survival.
The Netherlands Chamber Orchestra plays Mahler and Beethoven
In addition, music by two other masters of symphonic music: Beethoven and Mahler. Among all his grand symphonies, Beethoven's Eighth is a cheerful work full of humor, which he considered his most successful orchestral work. Mahler's Blumine was part of his First Symphony, but later became a dreamy and tender standalone work.
