BEETHOVEN, L. VAN

:

One year after the popular “Rite of Spring” with its shocking and smart interpretation. Now comes a new work by Urbanski and the NDR Elbphilharmonie. The piece is “Shostakovich: Symphony No. 5,” a masterpiece now performed by numerous conductors and orchestras, and Urbanski performs it vividly from a new perspective. Urbanski, who likened “The Rite of Spring” to heavy metal, also likes Shostakovich’s Fifth, and he delves deeply into the inner workings of the piece, revealing the tragic side lurking within its superficial brightness and heroism.Naxos Japan
