In his debut as conductor of the TRT Philharmonic, after having been its acclaimed principal cellist, Umberto Clerici leads the orchestra from lightheartedness toward bitter pessimism, starting with Masquerade, a brilliant miniature by contemporary composer Anna Clyne, in its Italian premiere; followed by the Horn Concerto by the Soviet composer Glière, with echoes of Russian folk music, featuring horn soloist Maria Elisa Aricò; and concluding with Symphony No. 10 by Shostakovich, composed shortly after Stalin’s death in a climate of great political and social uncertainty.
