Emil TabakovAbout

The very titles of the movements suggest the sound images employed: the soulless solemn city, the pleading and moaning people, the horrors of the pogrom, the weeping over death, the picture of the people’s anger. The transition from one movement to another, without a pause, creates the impression of a complete and monumental panorama of the events. Quotations from popular revolutionary songs also contribute to the strong impact of the work: "Prisoner", "Listen", "Ah, King, Our Beloved Father", "Hats Down", "You Fell as Victims", "Go Boldly, Comrades, to the Battle", “Varshavyanka”…
The Symphony was premiered on 30 October 1957 in the great hall of the Moscow Conservatory, with the Symphony Orchestra of the USSR under the baton of Natan Rakhlin, and in 1958 the work was awarded with the Lenin Prize.
This continuation of the set of symphonies by Shostakovich is performed by the conductor Emil Tabakov and the Symphony Orchestra of Bulgarian National Radio.
