Symphony no. 5
Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & National Symphony Orchestra & Mstislav Rostropovich
Symphony No. 5 is the fifth symphony by Soviet composer Dmitri Shostakovich, completed and premiered in 1937. The four-movement orchestral work blends traditional symphonic forms with stark contrasts, brooding melodies, march-like passages and a complex finale, and it occupies a pivotal place in Shostakovich's career as a public response to the 1936 denunciation that shaped his subsequent output.
First released: 1995
