		Shostakovich's family seems to have been politically liberal and tolerant (one of his uncles was a Bolshevik, but the family also sheltered far-right extremists).
		The Fifth Symphony of 1937 seems something of a compromise: it is not overtly political, either for or against the regime, and it is musically conservative without being simplistic.
		Shostakovich died of lung cancer on August 9, 1975 and was interred in the Novodevichy Cemetery, Moscow, Russia.

		The symphony has four movements: In music, a movement is a large division of a larger composition or musical form.
		A scherzo (plural scherzi) is a name given to a piece of music or a movement from a larger piece such as a symphony.
		DSCH is a musical motif used by the Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich to represent himself, in the manner of the BACH motif of Johann Sebastian Bach.

	Shostakovich's Symphony No. 4
		Shostakovich scored it for 2 flutes, piccolo, 2 oboes, small clarinet in E-flat, 2 clarinet, 2 bassoons, contrabassoon, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion (bass drum, snare drum, tam-tam, cymbals, triangle, glockenspiel, and xylophone), 2 harps, piano, and strings.
		Shostakovich clearly made a major effort to write a “classical” piece here, one that would be acceptable to the authorities and was as far removed from the avant-gardistic Fourth as possible.
		The symphony was definitely a response to something, but not in the sense of a chastised schoolboy mending his ways — rather as a great artist reacting to the cruelty and insanity of the times.

		Probably no purely instrumental symphony by Shostakovich has given rise to so much extra-musical comment, but to my mind it can all be dispensed with.
		This is music entirely different to the overwhelmingly tense and strident fourth symphony, to the melancholy introspection of the fifth symphony (whose "triumphant" finale, even, raises more questions than it solves), to the restless unease of the sixth.
		Shostakovich somehow favored the clarinet in the high register; and in this chorale, he "humanizes" this timbre (in a way opposite to the "wail" of the second movement).

	Shostakovich: Symphony No. 8 - Music
		Besides, if you consider the fact of being the next Symphony after that giant work such Leningrad was, the Symphony may be was not as pyramidal and deep purpose but the point is the Eighth never received the special attention about its transcendent significance.
		The 8th Symphony is a powerful expression of the horror of war, which has been compared to Picasso's painting "Guernica." First performed on November 4, 1943 with Mravinsky conducting, it was largely ignored at first.
		Shostakovich's 8th Symphony is one of the towering masterworks of 20th century music, and 20th century art overall.

		Stalin died on 5 March 1953, and the resulting thaw in the repressive political climate saw Shostakovich suddenly release a number of new works, including this symphony.
		The first movement forms the bulk of the symphony, and is ultimately rather a depressing ``call in the wilderness''.
		The symphony was first performed in Leningrad on 17 December 1953.

		It has no need of historical or hysterical commentaries." So remarked Dmitri Shostakovich on one occasion, doubtless to keep himself out of trouble with the Soviet system with which he had a strained relationship throughout most of his career as a composer.
		Perhaps Shostakovich's greatest symphony, the Tenth is here performed by one of his most faithful friends and advocates, the German conductor Kurt Sanderling.
		Sanderling himself has said: "The powers-that-be were right to ban Shostakovich, because no one has taken them and their machinery apart as effectively as he did." This masterly interpretation shows exactly how.

	[Shostakovich - Symphony No.10] notes by Paul Serotsky (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Our ears insist instinctively that the Tenth Symphony is a masterpiece, but to comprehend its construction, to “prove” it is a symphony, we must divine the drama.
		Shostakovich, for his “crime” of writing a Ninth Symphony that gave joy to the people rather than an Ode to Joy to the State, was censured..
		If this motive does indeed represent Elmira Nazirova, Shostakovich’s beloved pupil throughout that time, we can guess that for him her youth and vitality were an unwavering symbol of hope, which encouraged this private act of catharsis.

		Known for infusing the spirit of revolutionary socialism into his innovative compositions, his Symphony No. 10 -- which he wrote shortly after Stalin`s demise -- is a triumphant work of liberatory spirit.
		On this music video, Pavel Kogan and the Moscow State Symphony Orchestra take on the dynamic work, and their performance proves that no other performers are better suited for it.

		But it was as a conductor that Skrowaczewski found his true vocation, particularly with the Hallé, with whom he recorded a fêted Brahms symphony cycle as well as outstanding versions of the Fourth symphonies of Bruckner and Mahler.

	SA-CD.net - Shostakovich: Symphony No. 11 - Rostropovich
		Shostakovich wrote all the notes in the first movement and you have to play them, but I felt that the first movement seemed to drag at Rostropovich's tempo.
		Shostakovich chronicled the vilest and most atavistic urges that the 20th.
		Rosty's is a daring conception--taking it slow and indulgently in a symphony which has an almost ritualistic, built-in motionless to begin with--but his attention to timbre and dynamics over architecture forces an unusually physical response.

		Well, Shostakovich 10, generally regarded as one of the finest 20th Century symphonies, receives here a truly wonderful rendition from the Berlin Phil.
		Solomon Volkov maintains that Shostakovich intended the symphony to be about the Stalin Era, and the second movement to be a portrait of Stalin himself.
		I have no complaints about the recorded quality of this one, and given the nature of the music that is not the consideration uppermost in my mind anyhow.

	SoundStage! Gustav Mahler - Symphony No.10
		In 1924, two movements of the symphony -- the opening adagio and a short, strange little movement subtitled Purgatorio -- were performed, in a version edited by Ernst Krenek (at that time married to Anna Mahler, the composer's daughter) and by Franz Schalk in Vienna.
		Now that all four completions have been recorded it is possible to compare them (at least aurally, scores are only available for the Cooke to my certain knowledge), and one thing quickly becomes clear: their similarities are far greater than their differences.
		The recording need make no apologies, although there are the inevitable minor glitches of capturing a large ensemble on the wing.

	DSCH 17 Shostakovich CD Reviews - Symphony No. 10
		Of the six opuses granted commercial recordings with his Czech Philharmonic team, the most celebrated is the taut Fifth Symphony he set down in 1961, which Supraphon have repackaged with a mercurial First from 1964 (11 1951-2 011).
		I suspect that it is no coincidence that Ancerl negotiated the emotional terrain of a Shostakovich score so unerringly, himself having suffered 20th-century tyranny to an even greater degree than the composer.
		Regardless of coupling, Ancerl's unique view of Shostakovich's Tenth Symphony is a milestone in the discography; those who have not yet heard it should consider this new release a mandatory acquisition.

	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.
		With this, the symphony rolls to a triumphant close - but not before the D-S-C-H theme is declared in octaves by almost the entire symphonic range with tremendous drive, signaling the victory of the man, the composer, the artist.
		I thought Shostakovich was born in 1906 and died in 1975.

		This is the latest in a series of appearances by Shostakovich fils on Czech labels and with Czech orchestras.
		The psychotropic effects of Maxim's performance are attributable to the way he exploits the strangeness of the symphony's orchestral effects, letting out the reins on markings in the score that are glossed over in other accounts that present (some would say, "fabricate") a more unified feel.
		This is a live performance, though you wouldn't guess that from the absence of audience noise (there is no applause at the end).

		It would be hard to tell from the glowing reviews here that the Shostakovich Seventh is junk, a forgotten wartime work that sank out of hte repertoire for decades, only to resurface thanks largely to CDs.

		He was always suspicious of a 9th Symphony, fearing it would result in his death.
		As a result, following Mahler's 8th symphony he composed Das Lied von der Erde, which was to be his 9th, eliminating Mahler's suspicious fear.
		With the premier of his 9th symphony, he actually completed his 10th, although the formal name was not labeled as such.

		Litton's stylistic mastery of the Shostakovich style is evident in the way he maintains tension in the long slow movements and the sardonic brio with which he tackles the faster ones.
		For example, the chromatic runs in the second movment of Symphony No. 6 are performed almost perfectly in tune by the entire violin section--a very difficutl feat for string players.
		Speaking of the Tenth Symphony, I must confess that I grew very accostumed to the Karajan recording, thinking that no better recording would ever be produced.
