Shostakovich: Symphony No. 9

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Münchner Philharmoniker & Valery Gergiev

Shostakovich: Symphony No. 9 is a symphony by Dmitri Shostakovich, composed and premiered in 1945. The work employs a relatively small orchestra and concise movements that blend classical symphonic structures with brisk, scherzo-like passages, its lighter, ironic tone and economy of forces marking a notable departure from the larger, more overtly dramatic works he produced during and immediately after the Second World War.
First released: 24th March 2017
