Symphony no. 8

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & London Symphony Orchestra & André Previn

Symphony No. 8 is the eighth symphony by Dmitri Shostakovich, composed in 1943. The work is a large-scale, sombre and densely orchestrated four-movement symphony that blends late-Romantic intensity with modernist dissonance, reflecting wartime turmoil and illustrating a more introspective, severe phase in Shostakovich's compositional career.
