		Shostakovitch saw the symphony as a "contribution to peace in the world” – the composers’; society, however, in a three-day debate, criticized the dark basic mood of the first three movements and the "artificial merriment” of the finale.
		Shostakovitch also reveals his new artistic self-confidence encoded in the notes of the theme: the frequently recurring motive of D - E-flat (Es in German notation) – C – B natural (H in German notation) in the third and fourth movements represent the German transliteration of the first letters of the composer’s name.
		Shostakovitch started work on his long-planned 10th Symphony in June of 1953 -- he completed the fair copy of the first movement score on August 5, the second movement on August 27, the third on October 8 and the fourth movement on October 25, 1953.

	Notes on Six Romances on Lyrics by British Poets, Opus 62/140 (1942)
		When Hitler’s troops invaded the USSR and laid siege to Leningrad, thousands of Soviet citizens, among them Shostakovitch and his family, were forced to evacuate.
		His literary bent created difficulty for him in selecting text for his songs, for he had to find poetry that both had impressive content and was suited to his compositional style.
		Shostakovitch accompanied baritone Efrem Flaks in the work’s premiere at the Moscow Conservatory on June 6, 1943.

	Shostakovitch simfonieën Barshai
		Wat Shostakovitch betreft berust zijn bekendheid onder andere op de bewerkingen die hij maakte voor kamerorkest van enkele strijkkwartetten, en op het dirigeren van de première van de veertiende simfonie in 1969.
		Wie zich door de muziek van Shostakovitch perse de strot geheel wil laten dichtknijpen, of wie anderszins meer dan tamelijk verpletterd en in ademnood achtergelaten wil worden door deze muziek, zal bij sommige andere dirigenten meer van zijn/haar gading vinden.
		Dit geheel komt naar mijn indruk qua kwaliteit ergens tussen (a) een uitmuntende gids in het simfonisch oeuvre van Shostakovitch die geen enkele belangstellende zich zal laten ontgaan, en (b) een topprestatie die geen enkele kenner of liefhebber zich màg laten ontgaan.

	Shostakovitch's Symphony No. 11: a Soul-searing Mirror of our Troubled Times
		I regularly program Shostakovitch's works because I believe that he is a major composer.
		The multiple facets of Shostakovitch's work fascinate me as well the power imbedded in his music, but I don't mean the surface-level power of cymbals and trumpets.
		Shostakovitch doesn't fall into this category since communication is the driving power behind his work.

	Shostakovitch, Rachmaninov, Walton, Alexander Korsantiya (pf), City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Sakari Oramo, ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
		The previous week had seen Natalie Dessay make way for tenor Timothy Robinson and on this occasion Gil Shaham, who was unable to attend for personal reasons having been scheduled to play the Korngold Violin Concerto, was replaced at short notice by Georgian pianist Alexander Korsantiya in Rachmaninov’s mighty Third Piano Concerto.
		In point of fact the four movements of the suite are almost a retrospective in sound bites of the composer’s symphonic output to that point, with passages calling to mind the fourth and eleventh symphonies amongst others.
		Only when the music subsides in the third movement, a moving portrait of Ophelia, does the composer allow the underlying anger one senses in the music to recede a little, albeit briefly, and the orchestra’s sensitivity to this spoke for itself in atmospheric yet touching playing perfect for Ophelia’s character.

	Dimitri Shostakovitch......his life and work (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
		Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovitch, leading Soviet composer of the mid-20th century was born on September 25, 1906, in St Petersburg and trained (1919-1925) at the prestigious Conservatoire in that city.
		His last and Fifteenth Symphony is a satirical jab at the bombastic concept of the "Soviet Man", much lauded in So viet propaganda yet largely a figment of its imagination for all the apparaent power of Stalin's legacy.
		Shostakovitch died in Moscow on August 9, 1975, exhausted and depressed by his ceaseless battle with the repression of the small-minded and tale ntless bureaucrats of the musical establishment.

	Shostakovitch
		Shostakovitch wrote his Quintet for Piano and Strings op.
		The majestic tone of this first movement, which one might hear as a prelude to the fugato movement to follow, exemplifies the deep admiration Shostakovitch had for Johann Sebastian Bach.
		The second movement, Adagio, is a Spartan fugue that evokes a slow march, with its muted instruments.

	Powerful Shostakovich Symphonies from Oleg Caetani Review By Max Westler
		That the symphony had been composed in a police state, during Stalin's "Great Terror," and at a time when the composer's friends, relatives, and fellow artists were being sent into exile or summarily tried and executed hardly seemed to matter.
		The psychological context for the Fifth Symphony was not the socialist ideals of "optimism and the joy of living," but the stark, inglorious, and wholly existential fear of extinction.
		Having been officially reproved for the "shocking" Lady Macbeth of Mtzensk and the irreverent, anarchic Fourth Symphony (which he promptly withdrew before it could be performed), Shostakovitch was acutely aware that he too had become an enemy of the state.

		He feels vocation, as scarcely anyone before him, to set new standards with his interpretations of the symphonic works of Shostakovitch in all their facets.
		The breathtaking sonic perspectives and spatial plasticity of the multi channel recording allow Shostakovitch's orchestral langauge to be fully realized for the first time.

		This film about the great composer Dmitri Shostakovitch was initially begun by the St. Petersburg film–maker Semion Aranovitch.
		This is a film about the triumph of powerful art and about the defeat and death of a weak man burdened by his gift.
		This biography of Shostakovitch, which includes the most acute moments of social life in Soviet Russia, had become the foundation for a reflection and an overview of the tragic destiny of the artist, always alone but not separated from his epoch and his homeland.

	André PREVIN/various classical composers: Rollerball: Film Music on the Web CD Reviews August 2002 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
		Specially recorded for the film, as were all the pieces on this disc, we are presented only with the stirring first three minutes and the music is not reprised at the conclusion of the album.
		This is complimented by two more Shostakovitch extracts, and though staying in Russia, rather jarringly by a waltz from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker ballet.
		After the Bach the music most people will remember from the film is "Albinoni's Adagio", the haunting melody used as a love theme to express James Caan's character's hopeless love for his estranged wife.

	Paradise Moscow (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
		His sardonic wit communicates equally well to both sides of an audience divided between those who think his entertainment music clever, tolerable fun and those who appreciate its skilful manufacture and malicious jokes.
		By the time Shostakovitch put together his musical comedy Moscow Cheryomushki in 1958, Stalin was dead and Kruschev was reconstructing Moscow with the help of corrupt architects and builders, filling the suburbs with huge concrete apartment blocks which promised a new paradise for people living in overcrowded city slums.
		But this new paradise had no shops or public transport and maybe the old city hell had advantages after all over the quickly crumbling rubbish filled towers.

		But I did hear Shostakovitch 14th symphony there, when I was young, with another Orchestra.
		Among some Shostakovitch devotees, a sumptuous recording of the 13th is considered something to be avoided.
		While all seem to acknowledge the stature of the performance, they decry the poor sound, wondering if it is a mono recording.

	INKPOT#60 CLASSICAL MUSIC REVIEWS: SHOSTAKOVICH Symphony No.10 - An Ink-troduction
		The Tenth Symphony in E minor, coming just after Stalin's death in 1953, is very clearly an autobiographical symphony, very free in the "decadence and Western disharmony" that Stalin had so hated.
		There are several key themes meant to represent people or events, including the infamous D-S-C-H theme, which represents Shostakovitch himself, the man, the composer, the artist.
		The movement is obviously too long to describe in much depth; it has to be heard to be believed.
