Symphony no. 15 in A major, op. 141

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Berliner Symphoniker & Kurt Sanderling

Symphony No. 15 in A major, Op. 141 is the fifteenth symphony by Soviet composer Dmitri Shostakovich, completed in 1971. Musically it is a late-period symphony that juxtaposes concise, often spare orchestral textures with abrupt contrasts, sardonic gestures and neo-classical elements, and it occupies the composer's final symphonic position, closing his symphonic output.
