Haydn, Schnittke & Shostakovich

Shostakovich’s unusual Sixth Symphony (1939) with its vast, brooding Adagio followed by two ferociously fast movements, shows the twin influences of Mahler and Mussorgsky, while Schnittke’s epic concerto, mixing popular song with spiritual profundity, reveals him as heir to the same traditions. Continuing our Haydn theme, we open with the dramatic ‘Drumroll’ symphony, with its dark inflections of the Dies irae.
