No other major composer of the twentieth century devoted more of his career to film music than Dmitri Shostakovich. Altogether he composed scores to over 36 films, from New Babylon (1929) to King Lear (1971). While written in a more accessible idiom than most of his orchestral or chamber works, Shostakovich’s film scores nevertheless reveal the composer’s complex and often paradoxical musical personality. Excerpts from three of his mature film scores will be featured on tonight’s program, conducted by USO Music Director Barbara Schubert.
