Chamber Symphony in C minor op. 110a
“to the victims of fascism and war” (*)
Rudolf Barshai's version for string orchestra of Shostakovich's Quartet No. 8
(*) “I feel eternal sorrow for those killed by Hitler, but I am no less troubled by those who died on Stalin's orders. I grieve for all those who were tortured, shot, or starved to death. Many of my symphonies are tombstones. Too many of our people have died and are buried in places unknown to anyone, even their relatives. Where to put the gravestones? Only music can do that for them. I would like to write a composition for each of the fallen, but I am unable to do so, and that is the only reason why I dedicate my music to all of them.”
Dmitry Shostakovich
