More details

Shostakovich completed his Tenth Symphony in 1953 – just after Stalin’s death – and the work is seen as a depiction of the Stalin years in Russia, where millions of people died and those who did not die lived in constant fear. This also applied to Shostakovich, who had difficulty sleeping, chain smoked and lived in constant fear of being deported to Siberia.
