Description

It was in the Soviet Union, his homeland, that Dmitri Shostakovich celebrated his greatest triumph – and suffered his worst calumnies. But after the death of the dictator Stalin, even Shostakovich was able to breathe a little more easily, even if only to a certain extent. In 1959 he wrote his First Cello Concerto, composed for and dedicated to Mstislav Rostropovich. It remains a hugely popular concerto to this day and is full of personal references. No one knew better than Shostakovich how to put searing irony into sound. In a lyrical, consoling contrast, the European Union Youth Orchestra under the direction of Vasily Petrenko plays Antonín Dvorák’s Eighth Symphony, a masterpiece of beautiful motifs: music like the dream of a Bohemian landscape.
