Omer Meir Wellber conductor | Jan Vogler cello

Strauss Till Eulenspiegels lustige Streiche (14’)
Schnittke Cello Concerto No.1 (40’)
Shostakovich Symphony No.6 (30’)

On 21 July 1985, Alfred Schnittke was declared clinically dead three times after a colossal stroke – but somehow he survived, and tonight’s astonishing Cello Concerto was the first work he completed after his recovery. Tonight also takes in Strauss’s sassy homage to a German folk hero and Shostakovich’s epic Sixth.
