From Prague to Leningrad – Slavic Soul II

The “Prague” Symphony was named after the city in which it received its premiere performance and has enjoyed a reputation ever since as one of the great Austrian classicist's most magnificent works. Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony was premiered exactly a century and a half later in Leningrad; a masterful blending of modernist cerebrality and genuine sentiment, the symphony is an equally impressive achievement. Both works will be conducted by the Indonesian maestro, Adrian Prabava, a rising star on the music scene.
