The fact that Aziraphale chose to listen to Shostakovich among all other classical composers says a lot.
Shostakovich was one of the brightest musicians of his time in the USSR. His ideas and music had revolutionary themes and pictures repressive power of Soviet Leaders.
Back then, Soviet Union eliminated anyone who thought differently or had different opinions on how the state should be governed and how people should live in there.
Shostakovich was terrified of the government and, for a while, stopped releasing his creative music, instead keeping a low profile and went with the flow until he didn’t.
I DONT KNOW WHAT THIS BASTARD IS DOING. But I believe in him. I think he has a plan.
Aziraphale, you go, girl ✨
