Symphony no. 8 in C minor
Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Gennadi Nikolayevich Rozhdestvensky & London Philharmonic Orchestra
Symphony No. 8 in C minor, Op. 65, is the eighth symphony by Dmitri Shostakovich, completed in 1943. The large-scale, multi-movement work uses a wide orchestral palette and sombre, often tragic thematic material that reflects wartime turmoil and marks a shift in Shostakovich's output toward a more introspective and expansive symphonic language.
