This is not my idea, but; 300 years ago, lucky and rich people maybe get to listen to this masterpiece once in their lifetime. Nowadays, we can listen to this whenever we want. What a time to be alive.
Completamente asombroso... Sensacional interpretación de una obra muy profunda... Dimitry Schostakovich vive y vivirá por siempre en nuestra alma. Nos explicó TODO a través de su música...
My dream is and has always been to not only hear the music performed in a manner like this but to see the stage work done in period costume and translated into either English or my native Swedish. We have such a wonderful theatrical tradition in Europe but we never use it. And i don't care to have the best operatic singers. Most of this is supposed to be spoken woth slight melody rather than sung. I still dream but this concert is something at least. I can of course understand the presenter describing the stories in Norwegian and the music is great.
