@propulchritudine Not a difficult language to learn once one gets past the Cyrillic alphabet. Plenty of cases though. The endings can drive one mad on occasion. Russian is a sexy language. Atleechna!
Op. 145a is only one of many remarkable master pieces by Shostakovich. Even, when I conducted this piece 2007 in Chabarovsk, I could not stop my tears running down the tuxedo during the performance. This is music of deepest emotion, a present of D. S. to all people of the world with human sensations.
Today I heard this work (suite on poems of Michelangelo, opus 145a, but for orchestra. The RPhO played under the conductor Maxim Shostakovich, son of the composer, who also did the worldpremiere in 1975, after the death of his father.
After the interlude tonight the RPhO (Rotterdam, The Netherlands) played the 10th symphony of Shostakovich. It was a very beautiful and remarkable concert!
Can anyone tell me who the singer is at the end?

I don't know much about music but I know what I like.
I don't speak Russian but I understand a word here and there....
Here is a man that is still this late in life softy pushing ideas and drawing in others in shaping his music.
Wow just watching him is thought prevoking

I know how you feel - shostakovich's music is deeply expressive - remarkably so for a twentieth century composer.
