In the organizer's words:
Compared to the heroic Third Symphony and the fateful Fifth Symphony, Beethoven's Fourth Symphony is performed much less frequently. Very unjustly, because the work impresses with originality, humor and esprit. Andris Nelsons, principal conductor of the Gewandhaus Orchestra and the Boston Symphony Orchestra, presents the symphony alongside Strauss's Don Juan, a tone poem full of energy and raffin tonal colors. Baiba Skride also performs Sofia Gubaidulina's violin concerto Dialog: Me and You - an intense dialogue between solo and orchestra, sometimes meditative, sometimes apocalyptic.
