DMITRI SHOSTAKOVICH - The Symphonies
Gürzenich-Orchester Köln · Dmitrji Kitajenko
In their latest #ClassicalDiscoveries episode, Jens and Joe explore Shostakovich's symphonies—works of daring subversion masked as Soviet conformity. From the banned Fourth Symphony to the sardonic Ninth, they reveal how Shostakovich smuggled private rebellion into public music. Featuring Gürzenich-Orchester Köln's powerhouse recordings, this is Soviet-era genius at its most explosive. "Quiet in person, screaming in music." With: Jens F. Laurson (Journalist) · Johannes Kernmayer (Capriccio) · Martin Klebahn / 4tune Studios (Video Operator)
