Kirill Petrenko devotes this concert to three composers of the post-war avant-garde. Luigi Dallapiccola’s The Prisoner is about hope, freedom and their misuse. Bernd Alois Zimmermann and Iannis Xenakis also wrote works opposing injustice and oppression. Zimmermann’s Symphony in one movement leads the listener “from an apocalyptic threat to mystic immersion”, according to the composer, while in Empreintes Xenakis creates a shimmering soundscape.
