Rafael Payare, conductor San Diego Symphony Orchestra January 24 at 7:30 p.m. January 25 at 2 p.m. BEETHOVEN: Symphony No. 1 in C Major, Op. 21 SHOSTAKOVICH: Symphony No. 8 in C minor, Op. 65 Beethoven’s explosively exhilarating First Symphony was written in the very last years of the 18th century, when Napoleon was first seizing control of France and setting out to conquer Austria and Italy. The music breathes the air of earth-shaking public events and an intense optimism for the future. Shostakovich composed his colossal Eighth Symphony in the depths of World War II, when the Battle of Stalingrad was raging and the future of the entire world at stake. This wildly dramatic, almost cinematic, music traverses every kind of human feeling from the dark tragedy and struggle of the first movement, through bitter satire and brutal human conflict to despair and finally a vision of a new world of transcendent beauty.

Thomas Guggeis, conductor Marc-André Hamelin, piano San Diego Symphony Orchestra BRAHMS: Piano Concerto No. 1 in D minor, Op. 15 DVORÁK: Symphony No. 7 in D minor, Op. 70, B. 141 Music and memory have always been close companions; you cannot have one without the other. Brahms’s First Piano Concerto, a work of symphonic vastness and one of its composer’s greatest masterpieces, was written out of his burning grief at the early death of his mentor Robert Schumann and his desire to write a piece that would preserve the older composer’s memory for ever. Dvorák’s Seventh Symphony sprang from his intense longing for the freedom and independence of his native Bohemia (now the Czech Republic), and his passionate desire to commemorate those brave spirits who sacrificed so much in the cause of their beloved country.
