Symphony no. 11 “In the Year 1905”

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Houston Symphony & Leopold Stokowski

Symphony No. 11 'The Year 1905' is the eleventh symphony by Soviet composer Dmitri Shostakovich, composed and first performed in 1957. The work employs large-scale, programme-like orchestration with a broadly tonal but often chromatic language, using dramatic brass, percussion and sombre string textures to evoke revolutionary and historical scenes, and it belongs to Shostakovich's mid-career output as an example of his engagement with political and historical subject matter.
