One of the best classical composers that I've ever listen to. From how he uses his Ti-Ne and Si usage to composes his thoughts in his music, especially in the gadfly suite section and the 9th symphony. You have to listen and be patient because his music isn't exactly obvious but has a purpose to express what he believes or feels or thinks what the subject of the song is even if he isn't clear at first. The passion for his art and what he is thinking really can catch you and make you wonder things that you don't always see or know but also question things that have been talked about like love and war. Either way, such a fun composer and I hope to listen to more of his work since I've only listen to some of it for now! Thank you, Mr. Shostakovich, you chaotic and funny man! :D
Biography
Dmitri Dmitriyevich Shostakovich (25 September 1906 – 9 August 1975) was a Russian composer of classical music. His style is, on the one hand, well known for its exaggerated, tense emotions often bordering on the grotesque; and on the other hand, for its subtle irony and light wit. Not very surprising, considering that Shostakovich worked in an era when Soviet censors dictated what kind of art is acceptable, particularly under Josef Stalin. He had to learn to be discreet and hide clever musical hints beneath bombastic, "clichéd" music. His music provides many awesome moments. Most notably, his Symphony No. 5 in D minor moved his audience to tears because it evoked to them vivid images of their oppression under the Soviet dictatorship. Somehow, at the same time, that same dictatorship praised the symphony for being patriotic and pro-communist; the censors never picked up on the subtle musical subversions.
