Execution of Stepan Razin, op. 119 is a composite work in 1964. In it, the composer shows a masterful writing and an irresistible expressive force, and denounces in a violent, heartbreaking way and a sense of black humor to any kind of political totalitarianism. And this does so by counting the uprising initiated by peasant Stepan Razin against the 17th-century Russian latifundists.

The interpretation had the enthusiasm and strength that the work required, both by the orchestra and by the Easo Choir, tuned and compact at all times. He highlighted the performance of Russian bass Alexander Vinogradov, with a deep timbre and a secure broadcast. The quality of the soloist was fundamental to the success of the version offered by the Luxembourg Symphony.

The second story that the Luxembourgish told us was a terrible love story. 'Fantastic symphony by Hector Berlioz, op. It is the story that is told through the five motions of the so-called 14'. Berlioz tells the dreams of a young musician. After suffering the reproach of her beloved, she decides to go to opium to relieve her sorrows.

Director Gustavo Gimeno, expressive, went elegantly from the melancholy of the first movement to the sweet dance of the second. And from the beautiful bucolic scene of the third movement to the terror of the ‘March of Pain’ (title of the fourth movement), to end the thrust of ‘Dream of a Night of Akelarre’. All at once with intensity and elegance.

As in the first concert, the Orchestra expanded its plethorical and shiny sound, and its elegant phrasing with a touch of the centre of Europe. But, unlike what the management did not take off the whole day of the inauguration, in this second phase it should be given a 10. Congratulations.
