Dmitri Shostakovich’s Violin Concerto No. 1 revels in dusky enchantments, diabolical dances, and frisky folk tunes. In the festive Burlesque finale, Stravinskyan riffs consort with Jewish folk tunes. At once intensely experimental and deeply traditional, Brahms’s fourth and final symphony draws on a lifetime of experience and immersive study. The finale, an astonishing interpretation of the ancient passacaglia form—incorporates Bach’s death-drunk Cantata No. 150, “For Thee, O Lord, I Long.”
