Symphony No. 5
Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Leonard Bernstein & New York Philharmonic
Symphony No. 5 is a symphony by Dmitri Shostakovich, composed and premiered in 1937. The work combines late-Romantic orchestration with stark contrasts, terse motifs and shifting moods, ranging from sombre, introspective passages to more assertive, march-like material, and it stands as a pivotal middle-period statement that responded to political pressures in the Soviet Union and helped shape the composer's subsequent output.
