Klaus Mäkelä dirigerer storverk av to symfoniske giganter: Pyotr Tsjajkovskijs Symfoni nr. 6 ble urfremført like før komponistens død, og Dmitrij Sjostakovitsj skrev sin Symfoni nr. 14 i dyp dødsangst.

Pyotr Tsjajkovskij (1840−1893) stod på toppen av karrieren da han selv dirigerte urfremførelsen av sin sjette symfoni i St. Petersburg 28. oktober 1893. Symfonien ble raskt enormt populær, men selv fikk han ikke oppleve suksessen – han døde brått bare ni dager senere. Symfoni nr. 6 fikk tilnavnet Pathetique – den lidenskapelige. Komponisten antydet at han hadde et mer konkret program i tankene, men rakk aldri å avsløre hva musikken «handlet om».

Dmitrij Sjostakovitsj (1906–1975) ble lagt inn på sykehus i samme by (som nå het Leningrad) med store smerter i januar 1969. Det var besøksforbud på grunn av en influensaepidemi, og komponisten benyttet ensomheten til å skrive ferdig sin Symfoni nr. 14. Verket bygger på elleve dikt av poeter som alle døde unge. Sjostakovitsj var sterkt preget av dødsangst under arbeidet, og fremskyndet premieren for å være sikker på å få oppleve den. Der tok han ordet og forklarte hensikten med symfonien: Å minne lytteren om at «livet er vakkert».

Sopran Asmik Grigorian, som er oppført som solist i sesongprogrammet, kan dessverre ikke komme til Norge på grunn av gjeldende innreiseregelverk.

Klaus Mäkelä conducts great works by two symphonic giants: Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s sixth symphony received its world premiere just before the composer’s demise, and Dmitri Shostakovich composed his Symphony No. 14 crippled by an intense fear of death.

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840–1893) was at the summit of his career when he conducted the world premiere of his own sixth symphony in St. Petersburg, on 28 October, 1893. The symphony gained instant popularity, but he was never to experience his own success – he died suddenly only nine days later. Symphony No. 6 has been given the name Pathetique – the passionate. The composer indicated that he had a more concrete programme in mind, but he never had the opportunity to reveal whether the music had a concrete theme.

Dmitri Shostakovich (1906–1975) was admitted to hospital in the very same city (at the time known as Leningrad) and in great pain, in January 1969. Visitors were forbidden due to a flu epidemic, and the composer took advantage of his enforced solitude to finish his Symphony No. 14. The work is based on eleven poems by poets who all died young. Shostakovich was strongly influenced by an intense fear of death during this time, and pushed the premiere forwards in order to be sure to be there. At the concert he took to the stage and explained his intention behind the work: to remind the listener that “life is beautiful”.
