The exploding cork. Endless tiny bubbles floating up and up in the glass. An indulgence. A celebration. A seduction. A triumph. This is the essence of Champagne, isn’t it? But it’s not just bubbles in a glass that makes the wine, or the mystique. Only sparkling wine produced within the boundaries of the Champagne region is truly “Champagne.” At first glance, the region is not an obvious source of romance. Champagne’s history is grim and bloody, swept by war and destruction from Attila the Hun to the filthy trenches of WWI and the Nazi depredations of WWII. The environment for winemaking is desperately hard — northerly latitude, chalky soil, copious rain, frost, rot. Yet it’s these difficulties that help make the wine unique.

Es posible que Shostakovich haya escondido una clave subversiva bajo la superficie de su Sinfonía n.° 5 que salvó vidas. Después de que Pravda, el periódico soviético, condenara públicamente su ópera Lady MacBeth como inmoral, Shostakovich sabía que solo tenía una oportunidad de redimirse. Cuando escribió esta quinta sinfonía, el compositor literalmente estaba escribiendo para su vida. Michael Tilson Thomas y la Sinfónica de San Francisco exploran el lenguaje oculto de esta obra maestra. Como extra, el DVD incluye un concierto completo de esta sinfonía.
