Danny Dyer delves into the social history and sub culture of football hooliganism over the past 50 years in this 6 part documentary series. Inspired by the film The Football Factory in which he starred, Dyer embarks on a journey into football's violent heartlands, where he discovers the firms, their main men, the stories of their major battles, as well as the culture, fashion and music that surrounds them.
The three full-length ballet scores that Dmitry Shostakovich wrote between 1925 and 1935 remain among his least known works. The Golden Age revolves around the visit of a Soviet football team to a Western city (referred to as 'U-town') at the time of an industrial exhibition, only for its heroic sporting and social endeavours constantly to be undermined by hostile administrators, decadent artistes and corrupt officials. Even before its premiere Shostakovich had prepared a suite, including the famous Polka (Naxos 8.553126), which barely hints at the dissonant harmonies and intricate contrapuntal designs to be found elsewhere in the ballet. This recording is the first to present the work complete with all repeats observed, enabling listeners to assess the ballet in all its exhilarating and, at times, anarchic intensity.
