Symphony no. 4 in C minor, op. 43

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Mariss Jansons & Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks

Symphony No. 4 in C minor, Op. 43 is the fourth symphony by Dmitri Shostakovich, composed in 1935-36. The work is a large-scale orchestral score that blends late-Romantic textures with modernist dissonance, propulsive rhythms and intricate counterpoint, and it represents a transitional moment in Shostakovich’s career between his earlier dramatic output and the more restrained symphonies that followed.
First released: 2004
