布魯赫：第一號小提琴協奏曲
蕭斯塔科維契：第四號交響曲
三十歲的時候，你在做什麼？剛過完三十生日不久的NSO，本次樂季開幕帶來兩首作曲家接近三十歲時所寫出的經典。這都成為他們的人生重要里程碑，雖然意義很不一樣。布魯赫創作頗豐，但世人對他的第一、甚至唯一印象，就是第一號小提琴協奏曲，即使他之後還寫了兩首。不過此曲實在有成就大名的本領，光是開頭那如春蠶吐絲又盡訴哀思的小提琴獨奏，就是極其罕見的妙手。第二樂章傑出的情感鋪陳，以及終樂章淋漓盡致又不流於誇張炫技的揮灑，也在在可圈可點。未滿三十就有成就若此，確實可驚可羨，也讓世人永遠陶醉在作曲家明媚如詩的青春樂想。
說到青春，年輕時的蕭斯塔科維契，過得鋒芒畢露：十九歲就發表第一號交響曲，一出手便國際馳名；那時他日子過得燦爛，天寬地廣沒有盡頭，還是代表蘇聯參加首屆蕭邦鋼琴大賽的好手。怎知好日子沒多久，就因為歌劇內容被當局批鬥，第四號交響曲排定的首演也被迫取消—此曲深受馬勒影響，規模宏大、思緒交錯，精神內涵深邃又充滿豐富聲響色彩，當屬二十世紀最偉大的交響音樂。這是讓演出者和聆賞者皆有「靈魂洗滌」震撼效果的經典，每場演出都必須把握。呂紹嘉總監帶領NSO 二度挑戰這首名作，加上被譽為「小提琴女神
慕特接班人」的史坦巴赫，以及陳立立新作首演，必然令人耳目一新！

MAX BRUCH: Violin Concerto No.1, Op.26, G minor
DMITRI SHOSTAKOVICH: Symphony No.4, Op.43, C minor
For the NSO's opening concert this season, Shao Chia Lü has chosen one of the most sensational symphonies in the entire repertory: Shostakovich's Fourth. This hourlong canvas requires a huge orchestra, has solo passages for every instrument from the piccolo to the tuba, and can justly be called a concerto for orchestra as well as a symphony. It is filled with rollercoaster thrills, stupendous climaxes, volcanic eruptions, and apocalyptic visions. No listener is left unmoved by this symphony, the musical equivalent of a 1,000-page Russian novel. Violinist Arabella Steinbacher, praised by New York Times with "balanced lyricism and fire", will have her debut in Taiwan and play with the NSO in Bruch's lushly romantic First Violin Concerto, an audience favorite.
