Ancient and Modern #129: Shostakovich #10
This week’s Ancient and Modern is Shostakovich’s Symphony #10. The symphony was written, or at least revealed to the world, in a year important to Shostakovich’s personal life, which was also the year of the death of Josef Stalin, who had very often in the previous decade tried to stamp out the music of Shostakovich and others around him. The Atlanta Symphony. Shostakovich Symphony #10.
