“Although it is not the oldest Russian orchestra now active, the State Symphony Orchestra of Russia is certainly among the more venerable.” (New York Times) The orchestra’s all-Russian program features the electrifying Tenth Symphony of Shostakovich, which “many critics feel is the composer's masterpiece…written in a white heat immediately after the death of Stalin in 1953.” (Michael Walsh, Entertainment Weekly) Also on the program is Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No. 2, featuring pianist Dmitri Alexeev whose “sense of colour, of light and shade, and his extraordinary command over the dynamic range, {are} beguiling. He really does have the lot.” (Glasgow Herald)
