Dmitri Shostakovich

4 concerts

Dmitry Shostakovich, born in St. Petersburg, was a Russian composer known for his 15 symphonies and quartets. His style evolved from experimental to melancholic and nationalistic. Notable works like "Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk" and the "Fifth Symphony" faced Soviet scrutiny. His "Seventh Symphony" became globally celebrated during WWII. Despite government criticism, he masterfully portrayed Soviet life and later addressed sensitive themes like in "Babi Yar." Collaborated with artists like Toscanini, he received worldwide acclaim yet faced artistic repression. Shostakovich's music remains profound and impactful.
