I didn't see anything about that posts about Shostakovich were not allowed??!?
They
are allowed, but in moderation, because he is certainly not "unsung" is he. What are
not allowed are copyright recordings of performances of his works. Personally I cannot abide any of his wearisome stuff, but that is beside the point.
Yes.. sometimes his symphonies remind me of sour milk.....and some of Prokofiev.. the same... story about Glazunov walking out of a Prokofiev symphony performance shaking his head back and worth.. muttering "what the hell have we created".....
