Symphony no. 7 "Leningrad"
Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Заслуженный коллектив России Академический симфонический оркестр Санкт-Петербургской филармонии & Mariss Jansons
Symphony No. 7 'Leningrad' is a symphony by Soviet composer Dmitri Shostakovich, completed in 1941. The work is a large-scale, four-movement orchestral composition that blends late-Romantic orchestration with stark, often march-like motifs and dissonant harmonies to evoke the wartime siege context, and it marks an important public and historical moment in Shostakovich's career and mid-20th-century music history.
