Symphony no. 5

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & State Academic Symphony Orchestra of the Russian Federation & Maxim Dmitrievich Shostakovich

Symphony No. 5 is the fifth symphony by Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich, completed in 1937. The work blends late-Romantic orchestration with terse, modernist motifs and dramatic contrasts, and was written in the midst of intense political pressure, marking a major turning point in Shostakovich's public compositional voice.
First released: 1996
