I would rather listen to almost any other Russian composer. Wait a minute - strike the "almost" from that sentence!
The problem with Shostakovitch is not that he's Russian. No, the real problem is that he often writes very poor-quality music IMHO! Which is then often excused (even venerated!) by a coterie of listeners who insist that the subjective quality of the music will greatly improve, if only one studies the tangential, non-musical aspects of the works sufficiently well.)
Follow Ups:
To paraphrase Playboy readers, I only listen to Shostakovich for the music.
Classic!
