| | Shostakovich: Symphony No. 5/Piano Concerto No. 2 (DE 3246) |
| | The Second Piano Concerto showcases a lighter side of Shostakovich: the orchestra is chamber-sized, and the music exhibits a youthful spirit and irrepressible energy. | | | As an added bonus, Maestro Litton is the piano soloist for the Piano Concerto No. 2. | | | The Fifth Symphony, finished by Shostakovich in 1937, is probably the most frequently performed of his symphonies, and it's easy to hear why. |

| | Shostakovich: Symphony No. 7 - $9.11- |
| | I love Shostakovich, and I listen eagerly to all his symphonies except for the acknowledged duds--the Seventh and Twelfth--and socialist hackwork--the Third and Eleventh. | | | 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. | | | The seventh (`Leningrad') symphony is a special case in all of music, but particularly in the twentieth century. |

| | Shostakovich's Symphony No. 4 |
| | The present triple concerto opens with a surprise: there is no tutti introduction; instead, the solo violin enters right away with a lyrical melody, repeated in turn by the oboe and the cello. | | | The Cleveland Orchestra recorded Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony in 1942 with Artur Rodzinski and in 1981 with Lorin Maazel. | | | Contemporary reports of the boy's accomplishments are astounding; listeners simply couldn't believe their ears when they heard Wolfgang improvise, sight-read, play the piano, the organ, and the violin with equal mastery. |

| | Oregon Symphony: Brahms Symphony No. 2 |
| | Indeed, Brahms' Symphony No. 2 in D major is often described as the cheerful alter ego to the solemnity and melancholy of his Symphony No. 1. | | | The Piano Concerto No. 21 in C major was performed for the first time on March 10, 1785, in Vienna's Burgtheater, at a subscription concert for Mozart with the composer at the keyboard. | | | Brahms wrote the Symphony No. 2 in D major in 1877, a few months after the successful premiere of his first symphony. |

| | Christopher Rouse - Composer - Symphony No. 2 |
| | I completed physical work on my Symphony No. 1 two years later, and it was premiered in January 1988 by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, for whom it was written, under the direction of David Zinman. | | | Although the passage of ten years between conception and execution of my second symphony undoubtedly effected alteration in a number of details as originally conceived, the fundamental concept of the work remained unchanged. | | | Rouse brings the piece to an electrifying conclusion with a percussion-dominated outburst that has all the visceral, kinetic energy of the drum-dominated peak of a rock concert. |

| | Dmitry Shostakovich Piano Concerto No 2 |
| | Shostakovich reins such moments back in, however, to let the piano restate the theme lightly, almost delicately, in an extended solo. | | | His first venture back into provocative composition came in 1962 with the Symphony No. 13 ("Babi Yar"), based on poems by poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko about the Russian oppression of the Jews. | | | Only strings, piano, and a single horn are heard exchanging tender, lyrical lines, the right hand piano part singing a plangent tune above slow arpeggios in the left. |

| | This work also tips its hat in the direction of Mussorgsky (for whom Shostakovich had just orchestrated Songs and Dances of Death before starting on this symphony) and Mahler, with whom Shostakovich's music shares a very articulated affinity of mood and awareness of human mortality. | | | Technically, the work is fairly straightforward - the words are set syllabically, following the contours of the musical language in simple harmonic style and accented beats. |

| | Classical CD Reviews- April 1999: Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No 2 Shostakovich Symphony No 9 |
| | Shostakovich Symphony No 9 is sometimes maligned for being 'lightweight' but as with the unsurpassed finale of his Symphony No 6, of which Fritz Reiner's version is, by far, still the best, Shostakovich introduces a burlesque sense of humour probably to counteract the repressive Stalin regime. | | | Classical CD Reviews- April 1999: Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No 2 Shostakovich Symphony No 9 | | | I was brought up on Mravinsky's performance and so, rightly or wrongly, I judge all performances by that. |

| | In between there is Wagner's "Fate" motif, the drumbeat that accompanies Siegfried's Funeral March, Glinka's "Do not tempt me needlessly," and passages from Shostakovich's own Mahlerian Fourth Symphony, suppressed for more than 25 years on possible pain of extermination or exile to a gulag in Siberia. | | | A brief excerpt from Rossini's William Tell in the opening movement, two quotations in the finale from Wagner's Götterdämmerung (including the "Fate" leitmotiv) plus a song by Glinka, and throughout the work quotations from his own music have turned analysts into Sherlocks ever since, but without concensus. | | | Jansons has disregarded received opinion, and found instead a sinister circus in the music -- a subversive derision of the entire Soviet construct, from Lenin to Brezhnyev by way of Stalin and Krushchev. |

| | 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. | | | 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. | | | The first movement, an elephantine Moderato 24 minutes long, is one of the greatest pieces of music Shostakovich ever wrote. |

| | Shostakovich, Symphony No. 2 (1927) |
| | In fact, no irony can be found in either the music Shostakovich composed for his Second Symphony, or in Alexander Bezymenski's poem, "To October." And the music is certainly not hackwork. | | | And so the Second Symphony, state-sponsored and widely performed in 1927, disappeared. | | | Within these the mature Shostakovich appears in much more than fleeting glimpses: the precocious 19-year-old whose First Symphony (1925) immediately entered the international repertoire proved, two years later, how thoroughly he had absorbed the new musical language of the international avant-garde, and how effectively he could use those elements that suited his purposes. |

| | The Symphony No. 2 in B flat major (Opus 14; subtitled To October) by Dmitri Shostakovich was written and first performed by the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra and the Academy Capella Choir under Nikolai Malko, on 5 November 1927. | | | It was originally written as a cantata; the composer only later designated it his second symphony. | | | The Largo itself has two parts: a polyphonic beginning and a meditative episode which Shostakovich described as the "death of a child" (letter to Boleslav Yavorsky). |
