I have found Shostakovich very much able to wake me up from any type of slumber that modernity sometimes lulls, so here attached very interesting video with Bernstein enlivening the atmosphere 

What can be considered human emotions? Surely not only lyricism, sadness, tragedy? Doesn't laughter also have a claim to that lofty title? I want to fight for the legitimate right of laughter in ‘serious' music.

- Composer Dmitri Shostakovich

Classical pianist by accident, thinker by choosing, artist by destiny

Recently saw some YouTube video of why shostakovich has such a grasp on teens. I need to find it.

Very much was related to what you mention :) something about his music.

I can totally understand this but wasn’t aware that they did the research and teens correlation. I remember at the uni one very excellent professor (a true scientist and explorer) used to say, it was Handel, Beethoven and Shostakovich who made the greatest impact on the masses. The sense of heroic is unifying to all three not only in music but the way of life. This reflection I could never unlearn since.
