Utopia Orchestra / Teodor Currentzis – A Radical Sacre

An uncompromising top concert with Teodor Currentzis and Utopia Orchestra in Le Sacre du printemps and Shostakovich's First Violin Concerto with Daniel Lozakovich. Teodor Currentzis keeps you guaranteed sharp and alert. Shostakovich's First Violin Concerto opens a world full of tension and underlying unrest: dark sound layers, sharp contrasts and a violin part that balances between whisper and scream. Daniel Lozakovich plays with an intensity that demands as much from the listener as from the soloist himself. But the real highlight of the evening is Le Sacre du printemps. Performed by the phenomenal Utopia Orchestra and under the direction of Currentzis, this groundbreaking masterpiece unfolds as an unforgettable, raw explosion of rhythm and energy. This performance is circled in red in the agendas of every serious music lover: a spectacular, almost revolutionary interpretation that brings the primal power of Stravinsky's music back to life. Two radical works that reinforce and challenge each other, brought together by Currentzis in one uncompromising experience.
