Background: This DVD presents Larry Weinstein's award-winning film 'Shostakovich against Stalin', which tellingly examines the harrowing subject of Stalin's bloody purges and Shostakovich's musical response. Described by the composer as his 'tombstones', Symphonies 4 to 9 represented the composer’s weapons against Stalin's tyranny. They remain powerful testimony to a great artist's struggle against oppression. Shot on location in St Petersburg and Moscow, the film brings together archive film, personal recollections from Shostakovich's family, friends and colleagues, and key extracts from the symphonies, performed by the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic, conducted by Valery Gergiev. |
