{"product_id":"2533477","title":"Parlando; Ian Niederhoffer; Au - Censored Anthems [CD]","description":"A Musical America New Artist and BBC Rising Star, Ian Niederhoffer is a fast-rising, young conductor. Here, together with his orchestra Parlando, he explores music as a tool of cultural resilience in the face of censorship, particularly within the Soviet Union. This eclectic program includes Shostakovich's Adagio from Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk, a work infamously censored after Stalin's disapproval, the Concertino for Violin and String Orchestra by Mieczyslaw Weinberg, a composer whose career was shaped by persecution during Stalin's anti-cosmopolitan campaign, and Edvard Mirzoyan's Symphony for String Orchestra and Timpani, which is a powerful testament to Armenian cultural survival despite Soviet Russification. Inspired by Parlando's mission that \"every concert tells a story\", the album ends with three narrated tracks detailing Soviet censorship.","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54170823328129,"sku":"2533477","price":15.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/617xnp-uMpL.jpg?v=1742986810","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/2533477","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
