Contents of booklet are too old.
No. 10 turned out a personal symphony by research of letters.
He was longing for a woman, Elmira and suffering (1st movement), desperate (2nd).
But they exchange letters and his expectations getting high, winds from 1'09" is Shostakovich's theme and horn from 3'26" is Elmira's theme but she left him (3rd).
He reflects on himself, struggles and where is he heading ? (4th).
Jansons performs musicaly well but really emphasizes Shostakovich's suffering ?
Thanks

Att. olga1001 -

That is strange. I would say that the general concensus is (even if you don't believe Solomon Volkov) that the 10th is focused on Stalin (whom Shostakovich allegedly depicted in the seething, raging "madman"-scherzo), life in Stalinist USSR, and the joy felt by millions - and DSCH in particular - when the dictator finally died in 1953. There's a lot of sadness in the symphony, perhaps even longing, but I've never found much love to be present - no matter the interpretation. It seems a bit odd that one should be able to get the love story mentioned above from letters, since nobody, based on the same material, seems to have been able to ferret out exactly when the symphony was composed (dates are all over the place ranging from 1949 to 1953).

@belgodan5
Thank you ^.^
Sketch of No. 10 starts in 1943 before No. 9.
And many letters with Elmira Nazirova, Shostakovich's student were opened in recent years, he himself analyzed the details of No. 10 in these letters and said about horn theme "This is you !" (Elmira -> E-la-mi-re-A -> E-A-E-D-A in German scale)
Even 2nd movement represents Mephistopheles (inner Faust), Shostakovich's crazy, not Stalin.
Some people pointed out that this scherzo is common with Boris Godunov as tyrant but Boris is a wise ruler just not understood by others like Shostakovich himself !
Soon interpretation will change, I believe.
Thanks

It seems some comments in this string have been edited slightly (i.e. deleted) to prove a point. I didn't know you were a moderator, Olga. My apologies if I inadvertently offended Stalin; very rude of me. I clean forgot the site is Russian.

And saying the same thing twice still doesn't make it right. Kindergarden taught me that.

Thanks.

PS: My appreciation to sddd for providing the post.
