Obra: Un superviviente de Varsovia, op. 46

Avec son directeur musical Joshua Weilerstein, la formation lilloise a livré un programme poignant qui associait Un survivant de Varsovie de Schönberg et la Symphonie n° 13 « Babi Yar » de Chostakovitch.

A perennially unsettling pair of complementary post-war masterpieces, conducted by Andrey Boreyko, and a moving return to London for Gidon Kremer. 

What do you get for the composer who made – and also kind of broke – everything? Arnold Schoenberg’s well-documented phobia of the number 13 aside, he could not have asked for a superior tribute in his 150th anniversary year.
