While Barber’s style of American Romanticism is lyrical without restraint, Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 5 is complex and issues the perfect invitation to read between the notes of a composition written during an era of political strife and war. Kirill Gerstein brings his ferocious technique, discerning intelligence, and imaginative musical presence to Bartók’s lyrical 3rd Piano Concerto, one of the composer’s very last works.
