Shostakovich’s Eleventh Symphony depicts the harrowing events of the 1905 Russian Revolution. Rachmaninov’s First Piano Concerto features pianist Simon Trpeski

Shostakovich’s Eleventh Symphony unfolds with the immediacy of a newsreel as it depicts the harrowing events of the 1905 Russian Revolution. Brimming with rebellious anthems and prisoners’ songs, the Cold War-era score is widely heard as a veiled critique of the Soviet regime. Rachmaninov’s First Piano Concerto, a farewell to Russia, features the captivating Simon Trpceski.
