Music of Shostakovich and Tolibkhon Shakhidi

Music of Shostakovich and Tolibkhon Shakhidi

Thu, 24 April7 : 00 PM
Location 5 Sloane Terrace, London SW1X 9DQ, Cadogan Hall

Philip Mackenzie conducts the Mozart Symphony Orchestra in Shostakovich‘s ironic response to Stalin’s commentary on his music – his Fifth Symphony – and a dazzling selection of music by Tajikistan’s most important composer, Tolibkhon Shakhidi.

Tolibkhon Shakhidi is arguably the most important living Tajik composer. He represents a very rare type of universal master composer who possesses the whole arsenal of contemporary musical language yet uses the richest resources of traditional Eastern music of his region.

Shostakovich wrote his Fifth Symphony in an ironic response to an article in Pravda titled “Muddle instead of Music”, presumably penned by Stalin.
