Andris Nelsons, conductor
This second concert by Andris Nelsons and the Boston Symphony Orchestra sets Bernstein鈥檚 intensely lyrical Serenade (after Plato鈥檚 鈥楽ymposium鈥�) for solo violin and orchestra 鈥� a work composed for Isaac Stern and performed here by the prize-winning Latvian violinist Baiba Skride 鈥� alongside Shostakovich鈥檚 uncompromising Fourth Symphony. This dazzling musical manifesto of the composer鈥檚 modernist beliefs was withdrawn under duress before its scheduled 1936 premiere and wasn鈥檛 heard publicly until 25 years later.
