Symphony no. 4

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Beethoven Orchester Bonn & Roman Kofman

Symphony No. 4 is the fourth symphony by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich, completed in 1936. The work is a large-scale orchestral score that combines late-Romantic orchestration with modernist dissonance, complex polyphony and stark contrasts, and its turbulent, experimental character marks a pivotal moment in Shostakovich's early career amid the political pressures of 1930s Soviet musical life.
First released: 2007
