Beethoven and Shostakovich – two giants among composers whose names and music have commanded respect since their time, well past the two centuries and 50 years respectively since their passing. Renowned for their ability to harness titanic sounds from orchestras, they are also masters of invoking symphonic gravitas from the smallest of ensembles. Hear for yourself in these one-hour recitals performed by musicians of the Singapore Symphony Orchestra.
