Part of the tremendous popularity of Shostakovich’s fifth symphony is that it is a show-stopper, a piece of huge dramatic power. But he also smuggles in plenty of hidden references and musical codes into his score, including references to loved ones and quotations from other composers. And then there’s the wonderful open-endedness, the cliffhanger question of his finale: is it a straight-forward celebration, written to appease the State censors, or a daring act of subversion?
Yr hyn sy’n rhannol gyfrifol am boblogrwydd aruthrol pumed symffoni Shostakovich yw ei bod yn hoelio eich sylw yn llwyr fel darn pwerus eithriadol ddramatig. Ond mae hefyd yn cynnwys digonedd o gyfeiriadau a chodau cerddorol cudd yn ei sgôr, gan gynnwys cyfeiriadau at gariadon a dyfyniadau gan gyfansoddwyr eraill. Ac wedyn wrth gwrs mae’n hyfryd o benagored, gyda’r cwestiwn yn aros yn y diweddglo: ai dathliad uniongyrchol ydi hwn, wedi’i ysgrifennu i dawelu amheuon sensoriaid y Wladwriaeth, neu weithred feiddgar o danseilio?
