Edvard Grieg: Concerto pour piano et orchestre
Dmitri Chostakovitch: Symphonie N° 5

At its premiere in 1937, Dmitri Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony elicited raving applause from the audience – and also appeased the Soviet music bureaucracy. Yet the work is anything but conformist, as the composer plays with subtext and ambivalence throughout. Subtlety is also characteristic of Edvard Grieg’s Piano Concerto, which will be performed by Jan Lisiecki and the Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg under the baton of Krzysztof Urbański.
