The concert will celebrate the vocal achievements invented by Mozart and the deeply-moving lyrical tones of Shostakovich’s String Quartet No. 8, performed by the Orchestre de l’Opéra de Lyon in a version re-orchestrated by his student Rudolf Barshai, in this homage to two of lyricism’s founding fathers.
