Performed five days after the composer’s birthday, Mozart’s sparkling Concerto No.10 for Two Pianos highlights a scintillating program that launches 2022 in style. Music director candidate Oriol Sans takes the podium to direct a program that also includes Shostakovich’s tour de force Symphony No. 5 and Grażyna Bacewicz’s explosively symphonic Overture, composed during the German occupation of Poland. Presumably composed for the purpose of performing with his sister Maria Anna (“Nannerl”), Mozart’s early Concerto No. 10 features two pianos in colorful dialogue with each other as well as with the orchestra, with soloists Arthur Greene and Christopher Harding standing in for the Mozart siblings on this occasion. Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 5 caps off the evening as a work that achieved the unthinkable — appealing equally to both the public and government officials in a time of rigorous censorship in Soviet Russia. An unequivocal triumph at its premiere (with some reports stating that the applause lasted over a half-hour), the symphony continues to inspire to this day.
