Beethoven’s irrepressible optimism fills his ebullient Second Symphony. Estonian conductor Kristiina Poska precedes this unpredictable, fiery masterwork with a piece about fire by her countryman, Erkki-Sven Tüur. Shostakovich’s Chamber Symphony is an arrangement of his 8th String Quartet, a searingly powerful work that the composer regarded as his own personal epitaph.

Kristiina Poska allowed the players unbridled freedom in the symphony’s colossal opening… but the way she managed the subsequent extended climax was hugely impressive.
