| Description |
Stravinsky's Firebird saw exotically plumed dancers cavorting on stage - it's sensational success guaranteed the composer's fame. Shostakovich's 11th Symphony commemorates the 1905 revolution. Though the uprising itself failed, it inspired the composer to write this white-hot work in which revolutionary themes are woven into orchestral textures with cataclysmic effects. |
