Shostakovich and Mussorgsky: An Evening Full of Sound Colors in Munich

On November 11, 2026, two monumental works of Russian music history will meet at the Isarphilharmonie. Lahav Shani conducts the Munich Philharmonic, while Vilde Frang takes the solo part in Dmitri Shostakovich's First Violin Concerto. The second part of the program features Modest Mussorgsky's colorful masterpiece Pictures at an Exhibition in the orchestration by Maurice Ravel.

Between Inner Monologue and Orchestral Force

Shostakovich's Violin Concerto No. 1 in A minor Op. 77 unfolds a compelling dramaturgy between dark tension, bitter mockery, and lyrical intimacy. The violin not only takes center stage but also engages in a highly concentrated dialogue with the orchestra. Vilde Frang brings a precise stage performance and an expressive sound language to this demanding part.

A Musical Museum in Motion

With Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, the concert hall transforms into a sounding gallery. Ravel's instrumentation vividly brings out colors, shapes, and movements: Powerful bell tolls, radiant brass fanfares, and finely crafted woodwind passages guide through the musical stations. In the finale, the famous Great Gate of Kyiv, the orchestration builds into a festive sound arch of overwhelming impact.

Lahav Shani and the Munich Philharmonic

Under the baton of Lahav Shani, the ensemble combines analytical precision with great emotional range. The acoustics of the Isarphilharmonie in Gasteig HP8 provide the symphonic sound space for the finest dynamic gradations as well as for imposing tutti moments. The concert experience thrives on the interplay between chamber music concentration and full orchestral energy.
