So the great local radio station here has been playing a lot of Shostakovich lately- and while it's distinctly Russian (I think...) it's not really the bone-jarring roars of musical fury for which one notes Shostakovich to be reputed.
And then a week later, they played one. Whoa. It was like an earthquake!! It was cool =) maybe even surpassing my golden boy of forceful symphony, Dvorak! =)
Well last night at the library I checked out five of Dmitriy's symphonies. Yay! Deutsche Grammaphone mostly I think. Yay!
Well, which ones are more or less toothy, pray tell?
