Repertoire: The BEST Shostakovich Symphony No. 11 "The Year 1905"
Shostakovich's most cinematic symphony, No. 11 relates the tragic story of the revolutionary year 1905, which culminated in the horrifying massacre (by order of the Tsar) of protestors gathered in the square before the Winter Palace. Ironically, this ostensibly "socialist realist" narrative gave Shostakovich license to write some of his most unflinchingly grim, tragic music. Here are the best recordings of this gripping piece.
