Times's Echo Live: An Exploration of Music, War and Memoery, Part 4
Words: Through his life and through his art, Shostakovich bore powerful witness to the great tragedy of the Soviet utopian experiment. Our final program opens up both his astonishing wartime music and his courageous attempts to shatter his country’s own post-war tyranny of amnesia and silence. We conclude with a glimpse into his relationship with Britten - one of the century’s most beautiful musical friendships - and a visit to his Fourteenth Symphony, a meditation on themes of art, immortality, and farewell.
Music: Shostakovich, Piano Trio No. 2 in E-minor, Op. 67
