Dimitrij Sjostakovitsj 5th Symphony, composed April – July 1937, premiere in Leningrad conducted by Evgueni Mravinski. As an practically and creative answer from an Soviet artist after critical corrections. It was a very contrasting piece after the other pieces, like coming from another world. – Well, in fact it also came from another world SSSR, The Soviet Union. In 1936 Sjostakovitsj was getting problems, after his opera Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk has been played 175 times, because of critic in an article in Pravda. After this he didn´t perform his Symphony no 4, composed in 1936 before in 1961. But he recovered with the 5th Symphony In 1937, which was composed in the ”correct” Soviet style. Not to go to deep in to this history.- Cleveland Orchestra has a lon tradition with the 5th Symphony. All ready in 1935 Rodzinski, who at that time was musical director of the Cleveland Orchestra received a copy of Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk when he visited Léningrad in 1934. The Cleveland Orchestra already played the 5th Symphony for the first time in February 1942, during the direction of Evgueni Mravinski.
The brilliant long dramatic opening is marking this so clearly, which is being followed with a sad soft fully part, where it is like the whole Soviet world is waiting for something when the first part passionately is running out with xylophone tunes on the top.
Followed by an ironic and sarcastic caricature allegro in ¾ with a nearly Fritz Kreisler like violin solo, beautifully played by the first violin, William Preucil, taken over by the flute and continuing to sound joke fully sad in all the orchestra
. After the beautifully silent 3rd movement the Soviet “firework” came back again.
FRANZ WELSER-MÖST. It was a privillige to enjoy this cultivated conductor, who has been with the orchestra for 8 years controlling all the music, down to the last detail, and to observe how inspired the musicians are.
The audience wouldn´t let the orchestra go, so they replied with the very beautiful, and again contrast fully, Prelude to 1act of Richard Wagner’s opera Lohengrin.
The highlight of the week-end. – Powerfully – Mighty.
