简介:
Completed in 1936 but withdrawn during rehearsal and not performed until 1961, the searing Fourth
Symphony fi nds Shostakovich stretching his musical idiom to the limit in the search for a personal means
of expression at a time of undoubted personal and professional crisis. The opening movement, a complex
and unpredictable take on sonata form that teems with a dazzling profusion of varied motifs, is followed
by a short, eerie central movement. The fi nale opens with a funeral march leading to a climax of seismic
physical force that gives way to a bleak and harrowing minor key coda. The Symphony has since become
one of the most highly regarded of the composer’s large-scale works.
