This week at Davies Symphony Hall, two works by great 20th-century composers suggest otherwise. Dmitri Shostakovich, who had endured years of repression under the Stalin regime, composed his Violin Concerto No. 1 during 1947-48 but kept it hidden for years. It finally premiered in 1955, two years after Stalin’s death. And Bela Bartok encountered censorship for his ballet, “The Miraculous Mandarin.” With its shocking allusions to prostitution and murder, the score was composed in 1919 but wasn’t premiered until 1926. Czech conductor Jakub Hrůša returns to conduct Bartok’s Suite from “The Miraculous Mandarin,” along with Shostakovich’s concerto, with Karen Gomyo as soloist. Borodin’s Symphony No. 2 completes the program. Hrůša and Gomyo will discuss these works in a post-concert talk at each performance.
