Shostakovitch - an excerpt from 'The Gadfly'

This CAN'T hurt your ears! The previous post might disturb......this does not! When I first discovered this, it shocked the hell out of me as I didn't think the composer had it in him to write such beautiful music. I hope you love this as much as I do!

Listen and ENJOY!

Shostakovitch - an excerpt from Symphony no. 14

Shostakovitch that might hurt your ears! This clip is from his Fourteenth Symphony and in my opinion it is one of his masterpieces. It may not be for all but I adore it!
