Sjostakovitsj' Leningrad - Rotterdams Philharmonisch Orkest

The history of the Leningrad Symphony reads like the script of a thriller.

Shostakovich completed the poignant work while his city was under siege by German troops. He copied the score onto microfilm and had it smuggled to New York via Tehran and Cairo; the performance there was broadcast coast to coast. A new symphony became world news: that had never happened before.
