音樂會一開場，即是拉赫瑪尼諾夫扣人心弦的《無言歌》，如泣如訴的旋律在樂團各聲部間深情地歌唱，無比動人。緊接著將由曾多次來臺演出，讓樂迷朋友留下深刻印象的鋼琴家史蒂芬．賀夫，演奏拉赫瑪尼諾夫的第四號鋼琴協奏曲。這首經過作曲家耗時十餘年不斷修改力求完美的經典作品，現場演出機會難得，不容錯過。下半場將由榮譽指揮呂紹嘉攜手NSO帶來蕭斯塔科維契的第八號交響曲。這首於二戰期間完成的史詩鉅作，從悲劇性又充滿戲劇張力的音樂，走過低迷暗谷，逐漸露出曙光，直至昇華。這場音樂會將透過兩位俄羅斯音樂巨擘的作品，引領我們聽見俄式經典不一樣的聲音。

The concert starts with Sergei RACHMANINOFF's Vocalise. The weeping and cantabile melody is played expressively among the various instrument sections. Next, RACHMANINOFF's Piano Concerto No. 4 in g minor will be played by pianist Stephen HOUGH, who has performed in Taiwan many times and impressed Taiwanese fans. RACHMANINOFF spent more than a decade revising this work, and it is rarely performed. You shouldn't miss this great opportunity to hear it. In the second half, Shao-chia LÜ, the Conductor Emeritus of the National Symphony Orchestra, will lead the orchestra, presenting Dmitri SHOSTAKOVICH's Symphony No. 8. This epic masterpiece was completed during World War II. It is tragic and full of dramatic tension, leading the audience through the dark valley, gradually revealing the dawn, and later turning sublime. Through these two great Russian giants, we will hear the different sounds of Russian classics.
