Dmitri Shostakovich and Sergei Prokofiev were forced to constantly navigate the strict dictates of the Soviet regime and their own artistic integrity. Both sought a delicate balance between political duty and creative expression—resulting in works that are profoundly personal. ----- With Kazushi Ono and Alena Baeva.
At the crossroads of Romanticism and Modernism, Rachmaninoff, Reger, and Scriabin each seek their own answer to the challenges of a world in in rapid transformation. Modern-tinged melancholy, Symbolist imagery, mystical ecstasy — boundaries blur and personal expression prevails. ----- With Kazushi Ono and Lukáš Vondráček.
From the moment of his appointment as Music Director, Kazushi Ono dreamed of building “cathedrals of sound” with the musicians of Brussels Philharmonic. And build he did: Mahler, Strauss, Scriabin — the great symphonic architects all passed through. This season, he places the blueprint of the ultimate sound cathedral on the music stands: Mahler’s Ninth Symphony.
Vaughan Williams, Vivaldi, and Britten offer a jubilant tribute to the power of spring. Each in their own way, they draw upon diverse voices from the past to celebrate the awakening of nature and the eternal cycle of life. From hushed echoes to a triumphant finale: welcome to spring. ----- With Kazushi Ono and the Vlaams Radiokoor.
