When Ugo Fantozzi and his colleagues are forced to watch Battleship Potemkin in its original language, interrupting the viewing of the Italian national team’s World Cup match, the result is tragicomic, culminating in Fantozzi's iconic, profane (and liberating) outburst, which is not exactly complimentary toward Ėjzenštejn’s legendary film.
We believe the reaction would have been different if they had listened to Dmitri Shostakovich's Symphony No. 11 in G minor, a musical representation of the massacre of workers gathered in front of the Winter Palace in Saint Petersburg by Tsar Nicholas II's cavalry. In a re-edited version in Italy in 1976, this symphony was part of the film's soundtrack: in the famous scene of the soldiers advancing toward the crowd on the Odessa steps, we can hear the second movement of the Eleventh Symphony in the background.
Despite the general tone, the Symphony is perhaps one of the most emotionally powerful works in Shostakovich's production. Hearing it performed by the Milan Symphony Orchestra is certainly worth missing a national football match, without a doubt.
