Here, together with his orchestra Parlando, he explores music as a tool of cultural resilience in the face of censorship, particularly within the Soviet Union. This eclectic program includes Shostakovich's Adagio from Lady MacBeth of Mtsensk, a work infamously censored after Stalin's disapproval, the Concertino for Violin and String Orchestra by Mieczyslaw Weinberg, a composer whose career was shaped by persecution during Stalin's anti-cosmopolitan campaign, and Edvard Mirzoyan's Symphony for String Orchestra and Timpani, which is a powerful testament to Armenian cultural survival despite Soviet Russification. Inspired by Parlando's mission that \"every concert tells a story\", the album ends with three narrated tracks detailing Soviet censorship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk~Adagio \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Concertino for Violin and String Orchestra, Op. 42~Allegretto cantabile \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Concertino for Violin and String Orchestra, Op. 42~Lento - Adagio \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Concertino for Violin and String Orchestra, Op. 42~Allegro moderato poco rubato \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Symphony for String Orchestra and Timpani~Andante patetico - Allegro moderato \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Symphony for String Orchestra and Timpani~Allegro ma non troppo \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Symphony for String Orchestra and Timpani~Adagio - Andante doloroso \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Symphony for String Orchestra and Timpani~Allegro vivo \u003cbr\u003e1.9 What does censorship sound like?, an exploration~Ian Niederhoffer on Shostakovich's Adagio \u003cbr\u003e1.10 What does censorship sound like?, an exploration~Ian Niederhoffer on Weinberg's Concertino \u003cbr\u003e1.11 What does censorship sound like?, an exploration~Ian Niederhoffer on Mirzoyan's Symphony\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Parlando","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41459811188807,"sku":"44847685","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4394876-3312234_fb2d7c78-72e7-46c9-b1be-2136465541f2.jpg?v=1738326409","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/shostakovich-weinberg-oliverson-mirzoyan-shostakovich-weinberg-censored-anthems","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
