Symphonie Nr. 8
Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Rundfunk‐Sinfonieorchester Saarbrücken & Günther Herbig
Symphony No. 8 in C minor, Op. 65, is the eighth symphony by Dmitri Shostakovich, composed in 1943. The work is characterised by expansive, brooding orchestration, dense counterpoint and stark dynamic contrasts, using bleak, tragic thematic material that reflects the wartime context and signals a shift toward more politically fraught and introspective territory in his output.
