“Music is a healing art. Britten’s wartime symphony was intended to cast light even in the darkest days. Mozart consoles as no other composer can, especially in his sublime Ave verum corpus. Shostakovich’s 5th symphony follows a Beethovian course: crisis, conflict, resolution, redemption.”
~ Maestro Christopher Wilkins
