Description
The Chicago Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of the esteemed conductor Bernard Haitink, presents a powerful rendition of Dmitri Shostakovich's Symphony No. 4. This package includes both an audio CD and a DVD, offering a comprehensive experience of the symphony. The Symphony No. 4 is a monumental work, known for its complexity, emotional depth, and historical significance, as it was composed during a time of intense political scrutiny for Shostakovich in the Soviet Union. The CD captures the live performance's intensity, while the DVD, titled "Beyond The Score / Is Music Dangerous?", provides an educational exploration of the symphony's context and its implications on the question of whether music can be considered dangerous.
