Nationaal Jeugdorkest Liza Ferschtman speelt Sjostakovitsj

The National Youth Orchestra is conducted by Christoph Altstaedt in a program full of intensity and contrast. Violinist Liza Ferschtman is the soloist in Shostakovich's First Violin Concerto , a work in which lyricism and tension lie close together. Britten opens with Russian Funeral , a short but poignant homage, after which Prokofiev's Fifth Symphony showcases the orchestra at full power. Music that demands concentration, energy, and surrender, performed by a new generation of musicians.
