2009.11.7. Shostakovich's Symphony No. 15

Seattle Symphony.

Borodin: Symphony No. 3 in A minor
Tchaikovsky: Violin Concerto in D major (Leonidas Kavakos, violin)
Shostakovich: Symphony No. 15 in B major

Tchaikovsky's 2nd movement is most moving. Kavakos's handling of speed and pause is delicious. I fell asleep during Shostakovich's, regardless of 4 percussionists' effort.
