Symphonies No. 6 & No. 10
Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Dallas Symphony Orchestra & Andrew Litton
Symphonies No. 6 & No. 10 are orchestral works by Dmitri Shostakovich, composed in 1939 and 1953 respectively. They contrast sharply in scale and mood — the Sixth is comparatively concise and episodic with brisk textures, while the Tenth is broader and more intense, employing dense orchestration, dissonant motifs and a sombre post‑war sensibility that marks a significant development in Shostakovich's symphonic writing.
