The Nose

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Orchestra of the Mariinsky Theatre & Mariinsky Theatre Chorus & Valery Gergiev

The Nose is an opera by Dmitri Shostakovich, composed in 1927–1928. The work employs a sharp, satirical musical language with abrupt orchestral gestures, dissonance, cabaret-influenced motifs and rhythmic complexity, and it occupies an early, experimental place in Shostakovich's output as he explored avant-garde and theatrical techniques within the Soviet musical context.
First released: 29th May 2009
