Have you also ever encountered the true musical beauty that is Shostakovich's Piano Concerto No. 2 in F. In a contrasting fusion of anguish, sublimety, and passion, it encapsulates all of the excellence of the 20th century Russian composers. In my opinion, it is far superior to anything written by Gustav Mahler. Also, have you ever had the pleasure to listen to anything by Sergey Rachmaninov - his 2nd symphony is simply musical perfection.
Why have you not remembered any of the other great composers?
Russia is not the only country to compose great music - what about France?
