Lenny visits Shostakovich in 1959...
Yes! Michel, you are right! I'm having fun listening to my beloved Mahler symphonies!
By the way, here is a picture of when Leonard Bernstein met Shostakovich in 1959 for the first time, while conducting the New York Philharmonic orchestra in Moscow.
Dmitrij speaks: "Studying Mahler's works completely changed my personal taste in my composing!
Even today! Mahler and Berg are among my absolute favorites!"
~ Dmitrij Shostakovich
