Symphony no. 8
Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Koninklijk Concertgebouworkest & Bernard Haitink
Symphony No. 8 in C minor, Op. 65, is the eighth symphony by Dmitri Shostakovich, composed in 1943. The four-movement orchestral work is sombre and expansive, employing dense orchestration, dissonant harmonies and cyclical motifs to convey wartime tensions and represents an introspective turn in Shostakovich's mid-career output.
