"Fortunately, it is made more and more powerfully contemporary operas listenable, after decades of efflanquées cows and avant-garde. Among the distinguished composers big news, Rodion Shchedrin which, although carrying an unpronounceable name for the normal French, clearly belongs in the pantheon of the greatest living composers. Born in 1932, he spent his life writing unclassifiable but still brilliant works, which have ripped the most prestigious performers in the world, not just the wrong side of the Iron Curtain: Bernstein, Svetlanov, Rostropovich, Maazel, Rozhdestvensky and a thousand others. Here is his latest opera, The Left (2013), directed by its creator and Valery Gergiev dedicatee. Shchedrin phenomenal orchestrator shows it in a language that refuses either tone or atonal, but seeks above all to deploy emotion and strength. And a strong dose of black humor, by the way, since the subject mocks fiercely through the Russian - and across Western, by the way: a Russian inventor has to prove that the Russians are capable of copying, or even surpasses, an English invention, ie a mechanical chip as small as a real chip. With lies, misunderstandings and swagger that we can imagine. Awesome! SM / Qobuz"
First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
