Schicksal – Intense and existential
Podcast episode on the 3rd subscription concert, with cellist Truls Mørk and conductor Robert Trevino
It wasn’t only Beethoven who wrote a ‘Fate’ symphony – Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky did too. In his Fourth, fate announces itself with a blaring fanfare that no one seems able to escape, looming even over the folk-festival finale. Alongside it, Norwegian cello star Truls Mørk performs Dmitri Shostakovich’s First Cello Concerto, music that breathes a sigh of relief. This episode explores how two composers gave fate a sound, with Robert Trevino on the podium.
