Alexandra Dovgan | klavír

Pražští symfonikové

Andrej Borejko | dirigent

Andrej Borejko se vrací k Pražským symfonikům s talentovanou mladou klavíristkou Alexandrou Dovgan. Ta se v Praze představí poprvé a určitě ne naposledy! Je totiž teprve na počátku kariéry, nicméně přes svůj mladý věk už se stala obrovským fenoménem a koncertuje v nejslavnějších sálech světa. V Praze již zdomácnělý Andrej Borejko je zase známý svou specializací na dílo Šostakoviče. Tentokrát si vybral jeho poslední symfonii, která představuje syntézu nejen kompoziční, ale je velmi osobním dílem a dle skladatelových vlastních slov zobrazuje „Život prožitý od začátku do konce…“. Jestlipak v její první větě uslyšíte motiv z předehry Rossiniho Viléma Tella, kterou si vyslechneme celou na úvod koncertu?

In the second half of the programme, conductor Andrey Boreyko – renowned for his interpretations of Shostakovich – returns to PSO with the composer’s deeply personal Fifteenth Symphony.
