| | Classical Notes - Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony, Classical Classics, Peter Gutmann |
| | His public music (symphonies, ballets, concertos) mostly retreated to the safety of ideologically-correct programs and crowd-pleasing music. | | | Shostakovich's brilliance and originality emerged in his very first symphony, written at age 19 as a graduation exercise from the Leningrad music conservatory. | | | Although he made some piano records, Shostakovich never conducted his symphonies before the microphone. |

| | London Shostakovich Orchestra - November 2000 Programme Notes |
| | The Fourth Symphony (composed in 1935-36), another work whose fate was directly affected by the scathing 1936 article in Pravda `Muddle instead of Music', had been premiered a year earlier in 1961. | | | The symphony's tepid reception meant that it was soon dropped from the concert repertoire both at home and abroad, having to wait, as with a number of other controversial works, until the 1960s for its revival. | | | This competition took up a substantial amount of the composer's time; he collaborated with Khachaturian on an anthem (Song of the Red Army) and also, as a member of the judging panel, was forced to listen to every entry a number of times and in a number of different arrangements. |

| | Recorded Music: Dmitri Shostakovich: Symphony No. 8 (Mravinsky / Leningrad PO: BBC ... |
| | First of all, the conductor was the symphony's dedicatee. | | | I have one other recording of this symphony, conducted by Msistislav Rostropovich, and although Rostropovich deserves credit for trying to do justice to his friend's memory by conducting an entire cycle of Shostakovich's symphonies, his 8th is slow, plodding, and generally uninspiring. | | | The problem, with classical music, is context: especially in the case of a composer like Shostakovich, who was not only aware of the long and rich musical history that preceded him, but used it as a form of code, a message to those who had the knowledge to understand it. |

| | Keynsham Online : Shop : Music : Mahler: Symphony No.8 |
| | Mahler said of his eighth symphony ‘…the experience of the music should be overwhelming, it should leave you feeling, however briefly, that this is unquestionably the greatest piece of music ever written.’ This is what Abbado shows you. | | | One recording which allows the symphony the full space it needs for its climaxes is the 1995 DG version with Claudio Abbado and the Berliner Philharmoniker. | | | The whole symphony has a curious feeling of Solti being aware of the future advent of CD and anxious that he should get it all on to one disk, which he does with only 12 seconds spare. |

| | 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. | | | The seventh (`Leningrad') symphony is a special case in all of music, but particularly in the twentieth century. | | | 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 Symphony No. 8 in C minor (Opus 65) by Dmitri Shostakovich was written in the summer of 1943, and first performed on 4th November that year by the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra under Yevgeny Mravinsky, to whom the work is dedicated. | | | The symphony's C minor key has encouraged its interpretation as a journey from tragedy to triumph, in the tradition of Beethoven's Fifth, Bruckner's Eighth and Mahler's Second. | | | The work is only slightly shorter than the Seventh Symphony, and has five movements: |

| | Shostakovich's 14th Symphony is actually more of a song cycle, made up of settings of poems by Lorca, Rilke and others, centered around the topic of death, scored for soprano, bass and chamber orchestra augmented by a variety of percussion instruments. | | | This symphony, perhaps, one of the best darkest, pessimist works ever written (with Mahler's 6th Symphony, Sibelius 4th Symphony, Vaughan Williams' 4th and 6th Symphonies)... | | | Rating: 5 out of 5 - Terrific symphony and amazing performance |

| | The CD shows Mariss in front of the PSO not only in the symphony proper but also in a substantial bonus track pasted together from tapes of rehearsals. | | | With EMI Classics cutting back on new releases in these lean years, this ninth entry in Jansons' Shostakovich symphony cycle might not exist but for an unusual arrangement with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. | | | Indeed, he suggests that he will precede the concerts with a talk on the symphony's context, "because I think it's extremely necessary that people know what this music is about." |

| | As for the bonus CD, Mozart's Symphony No. 33, although it's probably beside the point for most DSCH readers, it is a fine reminder that Mravinsky was equally adept in non-Russian repertoire. | | | The acoustics are surprisingly good, even if the audience could have done a much better job of stifling their coughs, which are all recorded with perfect clarity. | | | At the time, this concert was announced as the U.K. première, and both the performers and the audience took it as such. |

| | 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. |

| | A musician who lived this work before conducting it, Rostropovich kissed the score at the end of last year's Barbican concerts from which this live recording is taken. | | | In the wake of his Leningrad symphony, Shostakovich was expected to produce a victorious anthem as the Nazis retreated, but he'd done that in the last movement of the seventh, and this titanic work reflected more his deep sorrow at his country's suffering, with a tinge of anxiety about its future. | | | But there's no trace of that in these elegant, refreshing settings, performed with their usual panache by the Huelgas Ensemble under Paul van Nevel, who has unearthed yet another valuable but forgotten composer. |
