Short intro

Dmitri Shostakovich composed his Symphony No. 4 in C minor, Opus 43, between September 1935 and May 1936, after abandoning some preliminary sketch material. Despite this attack, and despite the oppressive political climate of the time, Shostakovich completed the symphony and planned its. The Symphony No. 8 in C minor, Op. 65, by Dmitri Shostakovich was written in the summer of 1943, and first performed on November 4 of that year by the USSR Symphony Orchestra under Yevgeny Mravinsky, to whom the work is dedicated. It was named the 'Stalingrad Symphony' by the USSR. The symphony does not appear on concert programs very often, yet many recent scholars have ranked it among the composers finest scores. Although some have argued that the work falls within the tradition of other C minor. Listen free to Dmitri Shostakovich Shostakovich: Symphony No. 8 Symphony No. 8, Op.

Yoel Levi's recording of the Shostakovich 8th symphony is the best of the 5 I have heard. The clarity and firmly directed motion of the entirety of this sprawling, difficult work is a wonder. In the other versions I've heard, the conductors often seem to spend too much time wandering around a bleakly unfamiliar landscape in between stupendous climaxes. Shostakovich presumably turned to Mahlers Tenth Symphony in the second half of the 1920s. At that time Mahlers works became one of the central events in the Leningrad Philharmonics concert seasons, primarily thanks to Ivan Sollertinsky, Shostakovichs friend and untiring advocate of Mahlers heritage. Mahlers influence on Shostakovich is a well-known fact. It stands to reason that such an event as the discovery of a new Mahler score could not have escaped Shostakovichs attention.

Shostakovich was in the middle of writing his fourth symphony when an anonymous article appeared in Pravda, attacking his opera Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk. Two more articles quickly followed, but in spite of the official condemnation of his work, Shostakovich carrie
