JAMES CONLON, conductor

BERLIOZ
Three excerpts from The Damnation of Faust: Dance of Sylphs, Minuet of the Wil-o'-the-Wisps and Hungarian March
RAVEL
Piano Concerto in G major
SHOSTAKOVITCH
Symphony No.5
“Most of my symphonies are tombstones,” Shostakovich said. “So many of our people died in unknown places. Nobody knows where they're buried – not even their relatives. Where do you put their tombstones? Well – you can put it in music. I'd be willing to write a composition for every last one of the victims. But that's impossible – and that's why I dedicate my music to them all.” With his Fifth Symphony, written at the height of the Stalinist purges, Shostakovich wrote an autobiographical work crisscrossed with dramas experienced and overcome by the composer and concluding with a final cry of defiance.
Highly regarded for his charisma, his virtuosity and the lyricism that flows from his playing, Jean-Yves Thibaudet is especially acclaimed for his interpretations of the French repertoire, and here he performs the Ravel Concerto in G major, pyrotechnical in its outer sections but with a middle movement of haunting beauty.
