Description: | Riccardo Muti leads the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, men of the Chicago Symphony Chorus and bass soloist Alexey Tikhomirov in this poignant performance of Shostakovichâ??s Symphony No. 13, Op. 113 (Babi Yar), recorded live in September 2018. The ensemble shines throughoutâ??from passages requiring the sheer sonic force
of the first movement to the indelible moments provided by single instruments. Muti and musicians expertly navigate the intricacies of the five movements, each set to the poetry of Yevgeny Yevtushenko and expressing themes that were dear to Shostakovichâ??revolution and war, the individualâ??s role in society, idealism in the face of easy compromise, prejudice and intolerance. Yevtushenko said, â??Over people like Shostakovich death has no power. His music will sound as long as humankind exists. . . . When I wrote â??Babi Yar,â?? there was no monument there. Now there is a monument.â? - HUDDERSFIELD CHORAL SOCIETY? &© 2014 Naxos Rights US, Inc.
