Leningrad Symphony (2017)
Directed by Carsten Gutschmidt, Christian Frey
Overview
August 1942: Amidst the unimaginable suffering inflicted during the blockade of Leningrad by the German Wehrmacht, an orchestra director was given an almost impossible task: to stage the premiere of Dimitri Shostakovitch’s “Leningrad Symphony”. The performance became a symbol of the brief triumph of culture over the barbarism of war.
