2025 is the year to honor a great composer: Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich. He passed away exactly fifty years ago, making this the perfect moment for a remarkable project. The concert will feature his three string sonatas – for violin, viola, and cello. With Evgeny Kissin at the piano, we have perhaps the world’s best pianist, who has gathered three top musicians around him to bring extra brilliance to Shostakovich’s sonatas. This is how to start a Shostakovich Year!
These three sonatas provide a kind of cross-section of Shostakovich’s extensive oeuvre, and it’s evident in the music. Shostakovich was only 34 when he composed his cello sonata in 1940. He was in love with a young student in Leningrad, and the much-played work is remarkably lively and spirited. The violin sonata, from much later in 1968, was dedicated to David Oistrakh, then Russia’s greatest violinist. The viola sonata would be Shostakovich’s final work; he wrote it in a Moscow hospital and completed it three days before his death on August 9, 1975. It’s quintessential late Shostakovich: many shades of black. The score is so richly intense that it has even been arranged for ensemble. This performance in Eindhoven of the three sonatas is unique – the only concert of its kind in the Netherlands and Belgium.
