Symphony No. 15, Op.38

Approved

Composed in summer 1971 and premiered the following January, the Fifteenth is distinctive in its very surprising quotation from Rossini's William Tell Overture, as well as other musical allusions. The composer's mysterious, introspective late style is evident in the second movement, with its long cello solo.

Behind the Music: Shostakovich's Symphony No. 15

The incomparable Mitsuko Uchida—one of the most intuitive Beethoven interpreters of our time—concludes a historic, three-year Perspectives series at Carnegie Hall with the sublime Piano Concerto No. 4, performing as soloist alongside Andris Nelsons and the Boston Symphony Orchestra (BSO). Music fans will also be eager to hear Nelsons and the BSO perform a symphony by Shostakovich, following their eight-year, wildly acclaimed, and multi-Grammy–winning recording cycle of the composer’s complete symphonies. For this performance, they’ve selected Shostakovich’s final symphony, a subversive work full of quotations and references, animated throughout by its great diversity and sense of momentum.
