Song art is central to this program with soprano Elena Stikhina in the leading role. Since graduating in Moscow in 2012, she has caused a furore at almost all major opera houses, including Dutch National Opera. Following in the footsteps of the legendary soprano Galina Vishnevskaya, she gives Mussorgsky's Songs and Dances of Death, thought of from a male perspective , a transgender interpretation. 

Shostakovich wore his Seven Romancesto Vishnevskaya and her husband, the cellist Mstislav Rostropovich, with whom he was a close friend. The lyrics are almost apocalyptic musings on life, death, nature and the power of music. Equally weighty are Shostakovich's penetrating notes, barely instrumented for soprano, cello, violin and piano. A certain melancholy also typifies Brahms. But in his glowingly romantic First Violin Sonata , the sun dominates, although in the last movement he does quote his own melancholic Rain Song full of thoughts of days gone by.

English

De liedkunst staat centraal in dit programma met sopraan Elena Stikhina in de hoofdrol. Sinds haar afstuderen in Moskou in 2012 maakte zij furore bij vrijwel alle grote operahuizen, inclusief De Nationale Opera. In navolging van de legendarische sopraan Galina Visjnevskaja geeft zij Moessorgski’s vanuit mannelijk perspectief gedachte Liederen en Dansen van de Dood een genderoverschrijdende invulling. 

Sjostakovitsj droeg zijn Zeven Romances op aan Visjnevskaja en haar echtgenoot, de cellist Mstislav Rostropovitsj met wie hij innig bevriend was. De teksten zijn bijna apocalyptische overpeinzingen over leven, dood, natuur en de kracht van muziek. Even zwaartillend zijn de indringende noten van Sjostakovitsj, kaal geïnstrumenteerd voor sopraan, cello, viool en piano. Een zekere zwaarmoedigheid typeert ook Brahms. Maar in zijn gloedvol romantische Eerste vioolsonate overheerst de zon, al citeert hij in het laatste deel wel zijn eigen melancholieke Regenlied vol gedachten van vervlogenheid.
