Symphony no. 8
Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Symfonický orchester Slovenského rozhlasu & Ladislav Slovák
Symphony No. 8 in C minor, Op. 65 is the eighth symphony by Soviet composer Dmitri Shostakovich, completed in 1943. The work is characterised by characterised by sombre, densely orchestrated textures, stark and often dissonant harmonies and an episodic, brooding structure that reflects a darker, more introspective phase in Shostakovich's wartime output and positions it as a more personal counterpoint to his earlier, more public-scale works.
First released: September 1992
