| Description |
Born in 1906, Dmitri Shostakovich is a key voice of the twentieth century, scarred by war and burdened with the ideology of the Soviet regime under which he lived and worked. Amsterdam Sinfonietta explores his turbulent times with two of Shostakovich's most exhilarating works, alongside East German communist Hanns Eisler’s Serious Songs and Metamorphosen, Richard
Strauss’ moving lament for the death of a noble German culture. |
