Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra Bernard Haitink – conductor. In 1936, the Soviet government launched an official attack against Dmitri Shostakovich's music, calling it "vulgar, formalistic, neurotic. He became an example to other Soviet composers, who rightfully interpreted these events as a broad campaign against musical modernism. There is no sign of the excess of ideas so common in the Fourth Symphony. Instead, Shostakovich deploys the orchestra sparingly and allows the entire work to grow naturally out of just a few motives.
