The principal work, Shostakovich's Tenth Symphony, caused rapturous enthusiasm in a previous live performance and is very close to Liss' own heart. Liss tells of the symphony's première shortly after the death of Stalin in 1953: \"In those days, it was extremely hazardous to reveal too much of yourself in a piece of music. Shostakovich was able to manage it and for that he has my lasting and increasing admiration. I come closer to the music's heart each time I conduct this symphony\". The album also includes an energetic live performance of Olga Victorova's Quinlong Azure Dragon. This work too is close to Liss' heart, as is the composer herself - Victorova is his wife. One more reason for philharmonie zuidnederland to pull out all the stops as they perform this work about a renowned Oriental dragon as well as Shostakovich's masterpiece with passion and fire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Shostakovich \/ Philharmonie Zuidnederland \/ Liss","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32424411856967,"sku":"39429056","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/3718764-2505307.jpg?v=1711061504","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/shostakovich-philharmonie-zuidnederland-liss-quinlong-azure-dragon","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
