Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Maria Ewing & Aage Haugland & Sergej Larin & Philip Langridge & Anatoly Ivanovich Kocherga & Heinz Zednik & Kurt Moll & Elena Zaremba & Orchestre de l’ Opéra Bastille & Chœurs de l’ Opéra Bastille & Myung-Whun Chung

Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk is an opera by Dmitri Shostakovich, first performed in 1934. Musically it combines late-Romantic vocal writing and rich orchestration with stark dissonances and angular, dramatic passages, and its denunciation by Soviet authorities in 1936 led to its removal from the repertoire and influenced Shostakovich's subsequent compositional approach.
