This one runs restless and fiery. In Dobrinka Tabakova's Orpheus' Comet, a grand fanfare rises out of fluttering orchestral textures. Daniil Trifonov brings electrifying virtuosity to Prokofiev's ferocious Second Piano Concerto. Bignamini and the DSO then dig into every bit of power in Shostakovich's Fifth, which ends in a fireball of light.

Most performances have a 30-minute pre-concert talk one hour before, with general admission seating in Orchestra Hall. You can also watch the concert online at 8 p.m. ET on Live from Orchestra Hall, the DSO's YouTube channel or its Facebook page. It's part of the PVS Classical series.
