I wish I’d written this.
Thinking about Shostakovich I wonder why his no 7 symphony is rarely played by major orchestras; it s not on the concert archive of Berlin digital I don’t recall the Lso ever playing in recent seasons ; the only time I ever saw it performed live was by the Cbso (nelsons) during the proms and maariinsky (gergiev), should I be ashamed for adoring it?
Of course not!! And the Leningrad doesn’t lack champions – Nelsons, Bychkov, Gergiev, Elder, Petrenko. There’ll be another performance over the horizon before long. 🙂
Football? Where? Why?
