Conductor Andris Nelsons on the influence of Shostakovich
Manage episode 485820477 series 1451348
This week’s Gramophone podcast is a special focus on one of the most significant of 20th century composers, Dimitri Shostakovich, the 50th anniversary of whose death we mark this year. As our guide to his music we’re privileged to have conductor Andris Nelsons, who, together with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, has just reached the end of a journey through all his symphonies, plus the concertos for cello, piano and violin, all recently released by Deutsch Grammophon.
Across half an hour of fascinating insight, he tells Editor Martin Cullingford about how he responds to Shostakovich’s music and life, and about what makes the composer’s music so distinct, and so remarkable.
