Симфония № 5 ре минор, соч. 47

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Государственный академический симфонический оркестр России & Evgeny Fyodorovich Svetlanov

Symphony No. 5 in D minor, Op. 47 is the fifth symphony by Dmitri Shostakovich, composed and premiered in 1937. A work of Soviet-era symphonic writing that blends classical forms with stark contrasts, brooding lyrical passages and martial rhythms, it represents a crucial turning point in Shostakovich's career as a public response to official scrutiny and influenced his subsequent large-scale compositions.
