Shostakovich, D :: Duet (from King Lear)
Duet (from King Lear)
Shostakovich, D
Scored for 2 flutes with piano or harp accompaniment.
A highly politicized figure during his lifetime and since - because of a high-profile career carved out in the conditions of Communist dictatorship coupled with the immense emotive power of his music - by the time of his widely-celebrated centennial in 2006 Shostakovich was hailed by common consensus as one of the greatest twentieth-century composers. A substantial body of his large and varied musical output has established itself firmly in the standard repertory.
Shostakovich, in addition to his classical music, composed music for films. King Lear, a 1971 Soviet drama film directed by Grigori Kozintsev, was one film that Shostakovich composed the score for. From this, we have a duet for two flutes with piano or harp accompaniment that is indicative of Shostakovich’s compositional style and unique sound.
