¡Shostakovich: Symphony No, 11,
¡Petrenko / Royal Liverpool Philharmonic
Description
[Machine Translation] [Symphony No. 11 "1905" in G minor, Op. 103 Shostakovich's Symphony No. 11 is a work in four uninterrupted movements based on the "Bloody Sunday" of 1905. Shostakovich, who excelled in film music, depicts a hellish scene with a large orchestra including four horns, many percussion instruments, celesta, and harp. The work is said to have not been properly appreciated until after the collapse of the Soviet Union because of its extremely political tone, with many quotations from revolutionary songs and his own choral compositions. Rather than directly depicting the tragedy of the piece, Petrenko's performance is cool-headed and extremely objective, and in doing so succeeds in creating a tragic atmosphere. Performed by: Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra / Vasily Petrenko ( conductor )
