Sabine Weyer; Nordwestdeutsche Philharmonie - Shostakovich: A Light In The Dark

This SACD combines three works by Dmitri Shostakovich, which do not correspond to the clich� of the composer suffering under the Soviet cultural doctrine. The works featured on this SACD are Festliche Ouvert�re A-Dur op. 96, Klavierkonzert Nr. 2 F-Dur op. 102 (Sabine Weyer Piano) and Sinfonie Nr. 9 Es-Dur op. 70.While the almost neo-classical ninth symphony refuses any bombast, the two later works show more optimism. No wonder: Stalin was dead, the composer had survived all threats.
