Dmitri Shostakovich - Symphony No. 12 in D minor "The Year of 1917" with Riccardo Chailly conducting

Maestro Riccardo Chailly and the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig gave a powerful interpretation of Dmitri Shostakovich's "Symphony No. 12, Op. 112" ("The Year of 1917"). Dedicated to Vladimir Lenin, the work traces the events of the 1917 Russian Revolution through four attacca movements. The twelfth symphony is often considered his most politically ambiguous, wrapping revolutionary programmatic elements in highly traditional structures. Under Chailly, the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig handles this cinematic, brass-heavy score—which incorporates themes from Modest Mussorgsky—with both ferocious intensity and rich, lyrical depth. ▷ 00:28 - Revolutionary Petrograd ▷ 13:44 - Razliv ▷ 24:08 - Aurora ▷ 28:13 - The Dawn of Humanity #concert #classicalmusic #music #shostakovich #fullconcert ------- Subscribe to wocomoMUSIC: https://goo.gl/ahZRzC Follow us on Facebook:   / wocomo   ---------- From the Gewandhaus zu Leipzig Dmitri Shostakovich - Symphony No. 12 in D minor, Op. 112 "The Year of 1917" Gewandhausorchester Leipzig Conductor - Riccardo Chailly © Accentus 2015 ------- High-quality music concerts, performances and documentaries – in areas such as classical, jazz, ballet, modern dance, rock and pop.
