Watch Shostakovich, Symphony No. 10 - Yuri Temirkanov, Verbier Festival Orchestra

Like many of his other symphonies, a thread of sarcasm and pain is present in Shostakovich's Tenth Symphony. Maestro Temirkanov brings this performance to a pinnacle of Romantic sentiment driven by the force of nationalistic import. This symphony was dedicated to Joseph Stalin on the anniversary of an important date. The music itself speaks of an irreverent pleading to the sensibilities of modern man. In this performance, a lofty ideal is trumpeted, but a clarion call for peace permeates every phrase and fanfare.

Shostakovich, Symphony No. 10 - Yuri Temirkanov, Verbier Festival Orchestra is a 2009 music movie with a runtime of 56 minutes.
