Haydn, Schnittke & Shostakovich

Shostakovich鈥檚 unusual Sixth Symphony (1939) with its vast, brooding Adagio followed by two ferociously fast movements, shows the twin influences of Mahler and Mussorgsky, while Schnittke鈥檚 epic concerto, mixing popular song with spiritual profundity, reveals him as heir to the same traditions. Continuing our Haydn theme, we open with the dramatic 鈥楧rumroll鈥� symphony, with its dark inflections of the Dies irae.
