Shostakovich Symphony #13: "Babi Yar"

In 1961, a poem appeared by the young poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko,
entitled Babi Yar. The first line of this poem is: “There are no
monuments over Babi Yar.” In September of 1941 at least 33,771
Jews were murdered at the Babi Yar ravine in Ukraine; the largest
single massacre of Jews to that point in WWII. Shostakovich,
moved by the bravery of Yevtushenko's poem, set it and 4 other
Yevtushenko poems and created his 13th symphony. This is one of
those unforgettable pieces - join me to learn all about it.
