| | Notes on Six Romances on Lyrics by British Poets, Opus 62/140 (1942) |
 | | Shostakovitch accompanied baritone Efrem Flaks in the work’s premiere at the Moscow Conservatory on June 6, 1943. | | | 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. | | | His music is primarily instrumental, rather than vocal, in idiom; instruments can more easily negotiate the tremendous range and key changes required by his music. |

| | Shostakovitch's Symphony No. 11: a Soul-searing Mirror of our Troubled Times |
| | 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. | | | He always sets the social context in troubled times, refusing to create a comfortable world for us; his prime goal is to tell us the hardship of his nation. | | | One music lover wrote that his works crave for a public. |

| | Probably the greatest of the russian composers brought to life after the 1917 Revolution, Dimitri Dimitrievich Shostakovitch suffered the different avatars of the soviet politics along the regime, passing from the glorification of his first years as musician, to the public damnation by the own Josef Stalin. | | | Rehabilitated with the dictator's death om 1953, Shostakovitch stayed on his country until his decease, if always maintained a personal attitude clearly opposed to the manipulation of Arts as part of the soviet system. |

| | Dimitri Shostakovitch......his life and work |
| | 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. | | | His own legacy was far more substantial, in that his composition set a new standard, whilst his symphonic works remain to my mind, some of the greatest ever heard. | | | 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. |

| | 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. | | | 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 film about the great composer Dmitri Shostakovitch was initially begun by the St. Petersburg film–maker Semion Aranovitch. |

| | In the second movement, a diabolical scherzo, he allegedly draws a portrait of "the terrifying face of Stalin&;. | | | 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. | | | 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, Rachmaninov, Walton, Alexander Korsantiya (pf), City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Sakari Oramo, ... |
| | 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. | | | From the opening bars Oramo and his orchestra attacked the music with every ounce of venom they could muster, in playing of threatening, at times terrifying power, entirely appropriate for the uncompromising nature of Shostakovitch’s score. | | | 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. |

| | This is complimented by two more Shostakovitch extracts, and though staying in Russia, rather jarringly by a waltz from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker ballet. | | | 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. | | | 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. |

| | 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. | | | But after the publication in 1979 of Testimony: The Memoirs of Dmitri Shostakovitch, it became harder to ignore the evidence of the composer's own words. |

| | Shostakovitch |
| | Shostakovitch wrote his Quintet for Piano and Strings op. | | | The second movement, Adagio, is a Spartan fugue that evokes a slow march, with its muted instruments. | | | 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. |

| | Opera North's new production of the Shostakovitch musical | | | 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. | | | 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. |

| | INKPOT#60 CLASSICAL MUSIC REVIEWS: SHOSTAKOVICH Symphony No.10 - An Ink-troduction |
| | The first movement, an elephantine Moderato 24 minutes long, is one of the greatest pieces of music Shostakovich ever wrote. | | | 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. |
