The Second and Eleventh symphonies are both inspired by Russian revolutions. The Eleventh Symphony, subtitled “The Year 1905” marks the bloody revolution of that year. It is an astonishingly atmospheric symphony, of cinematic breadth, especially in second movement which depicts the Bloody Sunday massacre in St Petersburg. Symphony No 2 was written to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the October Revolution. At less than 20 minutes, it is a much shorter work than the Eleventh symphony yet no less dramatic. Although dismissed by the composer later in his career as an experiment, it remains an important step in the development of one of the greatest symphonists and both works receive definitive performances from the Mariinsky Orchestra and Chorus. Reviews: 'performed here with total conviction ... Gergiev captures its brooding majesty in a tense and involving performance, distinguished by the terrifying sound of the St Petersburg winds' Financial Times (UK) ‘Gergiev’s account is simply hair-raising [Symphony No 11]. Even by today’s high standard of orchestral playing, I suspect some orchestras would have trouble keeping up with Gergiev’s driving, intense approach: the Mariinsky players stick to him like glue. This is the best-recorded traversal of Symphony No 2’ American Record Guide (USA).
Dwa lata po triumfalnej premierze w 1934 r. „Lady Makbet” Mceńskiego Powiatu została ostro skrytykowana przez Józefa Stalina. Prawie cztery dekady później, Mstislav Rostropovich - uczeń i przyjaciel Szostakowicza – a także jego żona Galina Vishnevskaya stali się wygnańcami politycznymi ze Związku Radzieckiego. W Londynie, słynny dyrygent i sopranistka dokonali nagrania światowej premiery oryginalnej i kontrowersyjnej wersji opery, wyzwalając całą jej pasję, brutalność i ciemny, cyniczny humor.
