Die 11. Sinfonie in g-Moll von Dmitri Schostakowitsch ist wie viele Werke des russischen Komponisten recht zweideutig. Der offizielle Titel Das Jahr 1905 bezieht sich ganz klar auf die Revolution und den „Petersburger Blutsonntag“ vom 9. November 1905, an dem Zar Nikolaus II. auf sein unbewaffnetes Volk schießen ließ. Andererseits gibt es Quellen und Aussagen, die als Hintergrund für die Sinfonie vielmehr die Vorgänge der post-stalinistischen Zeit der 1950er Jahre in den Staaten des Warschauer Pakts sehen. Nikita Chruschtschow, neuer starker Mann der Sowjetunion, wollte sich als Reformer inszenieren, in Wahrheit schikanierte und diffamierte er seine Kritiker. 
Zu Beginn des Konzertabends werden GMD Francesco Angelico und Orchestermanager Tobias Geismann gemeinsam mit dem Staatsorchester Kassel Musikbeispiele aus der Sinfonie vorstellen und kommentieren. Im zweiten Konzertteil erklingt das gesamte Werk.

Deutsch

Like many works by the Russian composer, the 11th Symphony in G minor by Dmitri Shostakovich is quite ambiguous. The official title The Year 1905 clearly refers to the revolution and the "Petersburg Bloody Sunday" of November 9, 1905, when Tsar Nicholas II had his unarmed people shot at. On the other hand, there are sources and statements that see the events of the post-Stalinist period of the 1950s in the Warsaw Pact countries as the background for the symphony. Nikita Khrushchev, the Soviet Union's new strongman, wanted to portray himself as a reformer, but in reality he harassed and defamed his critics. 
At the beginning of the concert evening, GMD Francesco Angelico and orchestra manager Tobias Geismann, together with the Kassel State Orchestra, will present and comment on musical examples from the symphony. The entire work is performed in the second part of the concert.
