157 lossless recordings of Shostakovich Symphony no. 5. Flac/Ape in separate tracks, scans, score. Added extras:
Shostakovich - His Life and Music (Course Great Masters in 8 lectures, 45 minutes/lecture): Ph.D., University of California at Berkeley Professor Robert Greenberg provides careful, gripping accounts of the political circumstances amid which Shostakovich composed his masterworks—meaning above all his 15 symphonies and 15 string quartets.
An Informer's Duty theatricalises in a BBC Radio 3 full cast production Leningrad in 1937: Shostakovich is under official attack as Stalin's terror decimates his world. He cannot compose Soviet anthems, his fourth symphony is too dangerous to perform - and yet, as the Soviet Union's premier composer, he must respond to the times.
In BBC CD Radio Review broadcast Geoffrey Norris compares recordings of Shostakovich's Symphony No. 5, and makes a recommendation.
Through one-hour documentarie Keeping Score, Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony explores the motivations behind composer’s score and pertinent musical technique as well as the personal and historical stories behind them, as well as examines the aftershock and the lasting influences of that moment in music history.
Tony Palmer's 1987 film Testimony is based loosely on Shostakovich's own memoirs as related to and edited by Solomon Volkov. DVD rip 1080p.
