October (Shostakovich)

  • ... that one music critic said that despite being "noisy, banal, fundamentally insincere", Dmitri Shostakovich's symphonic poem October was nonetheless "enjoyable trash"? Source: "It doesn't sound promising, and surely "October" seems a parody of Shostakovich's "public" image—noisy, banal, fundamentally insincere—but it takes such a great composer to write such enjoyable trash."
