Politics "In 1939, before Soviet forces attempted to invade Finland, the Party Secretary of Leningrad Andrei Zhdanov commissioned a celebratory piece from Shostakovich, entitled Suite on Finnish Themes to be performed as the marching bands of the Red Army would be parading through the Finnish capital Helsinki. The Winter War was a bitter experience for the Red Army, the parade never happened, and Shostakovich would never lay claim to the authorship of this work.[28] It was not performed until 2001." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dmitri_ShostakovichA documentary Thanks again. The documentary made me realise why Shostakovich never clicked with me. Why i found the fifth pleasant, but not ground breaking , also why the Eighth was an album i once owned and enjoyed (enjoyed? ). The Seventh was always a piece i disliked, immediately after one listening as a youth. A friend had a copy and insisted it was brilliant. I listened and listened and the more i listened the more i disliked it. |

That third movement, rage.
Stalin hated brass and non soothing music
Dare to put two fingers up at that time?
I live in a country where i know the limits of dissidence.

I like a bit of brass at times, the odd cannon and church bells of course.

I think the 'flashmob' fab has passed but surely I'd have loved to be present at one. To be part of great music is fun

I can not listen any longer. Got a bit into the piece and nearly puked. Stalin, no doubt loved it. I lick ass to no one. So, soul please: |

So, soul please: Reminds me of 'sometimes I look in the mirror and talk to myself and we both laugh and agree'. Just having done that I can say neither of us likes Bartok, Mahler and seldom tolerate Brahms. We're more in the mood for some |

Begun by Prokofiev in 1936 on a generous commission from the All-Union Radio Committee and Prokofiev's friend Boris Gusman, it was finished the following summer.[1] Prokofiev expected it to be part of the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the October Revolution of 1917. Due to the political climate towards artists in 1937, Prokofiev decided to assure his safety by withholding the work. The Cantata had to wait until May 1966 for its premiere, 13 years after Prokofiev's death. By this time Stalin was also dead and disgraced. |
