Staff Pick of the Week
By Holly, editor at medici.tv
Scottish violinist Nicola Benedetti is known for her exquisitely lyrical renditions of works such as Ralph Vaughan Williams’s The Lark Ascending. This week, however, to commemorate 50 years since the death of composer Dmitri Shostakovich, I invite you to experience Benedetti in a much more raw, unfiltered, and emotionally intense performance: Shostakovich’s Violin Concerto No. 1, with Gianandrea Noseda and the London Symphony Orchestra.
Nicola delivers a masterclass in both dazzling violin technique — especially in the fiendish extended cadenza in the third movement — and artistic sensitivity to the composer’s anguish and torment living under the oppression of Stalin’s regime. Whether you’re hearing it for the first time or the hundredth time, the historical weight of this concerto and sheer intensity of Benedetti’s performance is sure to leave a lasting impression.
