Carnegie Hall

Last spring, Carnegie Hall’s Voices of Hope festival celebrated the life-affirming power of music and the arts during times of crisis, exploring the resilience of artists and the works they felt compelled to create. One of the featured composers was Shostakovich, who wrote many of his most impressive works under the shadow of Stalin’s tyranny in the Soviet Union. This performance of his Fifth Symphony was recorded at the Téatro Cólon in Buenos Aires with Shostakovich expert Mariss Jansons conducting the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra.
