James Conlon leads a Dallas Symphony program of Korngold and Shostakovich.
Guest conductor James Conlon leads music of Korngold and Shostakovich, with Alexander Kerr as violin soloist.
This was logical fare for veteran guest conductor James Conlon, who has promoted music by Jewish composers silenced by Adolf Hitler. The two largest works were composed in the second half of the 1930s, although Erich Wolfgang Korngold revised his Violin Concerto in 1945. But isn’t there irony even here? “The rejoicing is forced, created under threat,” Volkov claimed Shostakovich told him. “It’s as if someone were beating you with a stick and saying, ‘Your business is rejoicing, your business is rejoicing.’” Accurate quotation or not, the words ring true.
Along with Samuel Barber’s Violin Concerto, Korngold’s has become the most beloved of late romantic essays in the form. It even recycles lush music from a couple of his own film scores. Well, why not?
