Seattle Symphony: Shostakovich Symphony No. 4

Ludovic Morlot, conductor

Stravinsky – "Symphony of Psalms" (1948 revision)
Shostakovich – Symphony No. 4, in C major, Op. 43

--> LMP CRITIC'S PICK (Thomas May, music critic)

Stunning, visceral and profoundly spiritual, or as TIME Magazine called Stravinsky’s Symphony of Psalms, “the best classical music composition of the 20th century.” Shostakovich’s overwhelming Symphony No. 4 is one of the composer’s boldest scores. A night of masterpieces!
