| | DSCH 9 Shostakovich CD Reviews - Symphony No. 10 for Piano Duet |
 | | Dmitri Shostakovich (piano), Moisei Vainberg (piano)[a], Leonid Kogan (violin)[b]. | | | This 1954 recording of the piano duet arrangement of the Tenth Symphony is the same to which Sam Silverman referred in his Vainberg discography (DSCH 8), having previously appeared on a double-mono Le Chant du Monde disc that is no longer available. | | | To boot, we no longer have to contend with either re-wiring our stereos to have the recording play through both speakers or listening through only one speaker, as the double-mono incarnation required. |

| | 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. |

| | 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. | | | 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. | | | The Cleveland Orchestra recorded Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony in 1942 with Artur Rodzinski and in 1981 with Lorin Maazel. |

| | The recapitulation in Symphony No. 10 seems determined to downplay the recapitulation, to undermine its importance. | | | There can be no question, however, that each of the themes dominates its particular subsection of the exposition and they are presented one at a time, allowing the listener to become well acquainted with them before the business of development begins. | | | Until the publication of Kravetz’s article, the prevailing interpretation of Symphony No. 10, whether it comes in the way of a casual mention or within a book-length analysis of the symphony (Fanning’s The Breath of the Symphonist), has been that the symphony represents Shostakovich’s triumph over Stalin. |

| | Wilson conducted the Montreal Symphony in two different programs, returned to the Toronto Symphony, and made her debuts with the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra and the New Jersey Symphony. | | | The symphony is laid out in five movements, the last three being connected to form a single span of music. | | | And so it was that Shostakovich unveiled a symphony drawn along taut neo‑classical lines at a concert by the Leningrad Philharmonic on November 3, 1945. |

| | Shostakovich reportedly said that “The idea behind my symphony is the making of a man. I saw him, with all his experience, at the centre of the work, which is lyrical from beginning to end. | | | His compositions include 10 symphonies, numerous orchestral and chamber pieces, band works, cantatas, an opera, ballet music, piano pieces, and music for films. | | | Shostakovich became a “marked man” and his Mahleresque Fourth Symphony was withdrawn not long after its premiere. |

| | Symphony's programming isn't yet in same league as its performing |
| | The symphony season is chock-full of similar big works: Brahms Piano Concerto No. 2, performed by Emanuel Ax, Nielsen's Symphony No. 5, Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, Shostakovich's Symphony No. 8 and Sibelius' Symphony No. 2 are just a few. | | | A sizable portion of the 20th-century pieces, from composers such as Copland ("Music for the Theatre" and Symphony for Organ and Orchestra), Schoenberg ("Pelleas and Melisande" and "A Survivor from Warsaw") and Stravinsky ("Symphonies of Wind Instruments") date from the first 50 years of the century and are also in the canon. | | | These are massive cathedrals of sound, which you experience and live, as much as listen to. |

| | As in the Eighth Symphony and the Piano Quintet, the last three movements are played without a break and in all three there is an element of self-parody. | | | We were prepared to listen to a new monumental musical fresco, something that we had the right to expect from the author of the Seventh and Eighth symphonies, particularly at a time when the Soviet people and the whole world were still full of the recent victory over Fascism. | | | He was born in Riga in 1943 and became music director of the Oslo Philharmonic in the late 1970s, since when the orchestra has risen to being one of international status. |

| | Woodwinds offer a special feast here, thanks to their numerous musical dialogs, and Bernstein knows like (almost) no other conductor how to build up a climax--even when the music is as fat-free as this. | | | Under Bernstein's amazingly lively baton, the 5th Symphony reaches a perfect balance between irony and painful introspection. | | | The sound recording (1959 and 1965) is a pure delight, with true depth, clear spatial definition, and good old stereo separation opposing violins and basses in the most expressive way. |

| | That earlier CD did not inspire enthusiasm for a new outing; Jansons blitzed through the symphony with utter disregard for the buildup or release of tension. | | | In the second movement, for example, Jansons depicts a dialogue between, on the one hand, stern lower and massed strings and brass, and on the other, a free-spirited voice in high winds and violin that sounds reluctant or unable to limit its imagination to the lines it is being ordered to parrot. | | | At this moment, we are used to the timpani roll serving to underpin the crescendo on winds; compare Rostropovich and the National Symphony Orchestra on Teldec (4509-94557-2). |

| | 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. |

| | Dvorak: Symphony No. 9 "From the New World" Large View - Interactive Reviews |
| | I have heard it called by some "the homesick symphony"; this, of course, implies that despite the use of native American musical material, the symphony does not really depart from the approach Dvorak took in his other 8 symphonies. | | | The Scherzo movement is a tad reminiscent of the scherzo from Beethoven's 9th (Dvorak was of course an admirer of Beethoven and since this was his 9th, perhaps he intended to echo it a bit)Musically, it is of course appropriate to the structure of his symphony. | | | It also seems as if the brass were unleashed (like the Shostakovich 7 recording with Bernstein)and thus give unrelenting energy that leads to the inevitable conclusion. |
