The Program
- Khachaturian—Masquerade Waltz: To score the Russian play Masquerade, Khachaturian sought inspiration from the time of its playwright, Mikhail Lermontov—the early 1800s. After strenuous search, the Armenian composer found the much-needed second theme for the suite’s romantic opening waltz, which led him swiftly through to the closing galop.
- Khachaturian—Violin Concerto: This lively crowd-pleaser, staple of the 20th century violin repertoire, and winner of the Stalin prize for arts in 1941 is filled with so much flighty virtuosity and Armenian folk influence that some critics of the time accused it of being too much fun.
- Shostakovich—Symphony No. 10: This emotional symphony evokes tragedy, despair, and violence before concluding in two brief minutes of well-earned triumph—a structure that has left many wondering if the work is actually about the reign of Stalin, especially since Stalin had Shostakovich publicly denounced. After all, the piece did debut in December of 1953, just months after Stalin’s death.
