Symphony no. 8
Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra & Vasily Petrenko
Symphony No. 8 in C minor, Op. 65 is a symphony by Soviet composer Dmitri Shostakovich, composed and first performed in 1943. The work is a sombre, large-scale example of mid-20th-century symphonic writing, characterised by dense orchestration, stark contrasts and an episodic structure that reflects its place in Shostakovich's wartime output between his Seventh and Ninth symphonies.
