Symphony No. 10

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra & Leonard Slatkin

Symphony No. 10 is the tenth symphony by Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich, completed and first performed in 1953. The work combines terse, often abrasive orchestration with moments of sombre lyricism and sardonic motifs, and is commonly interpreted as a response to the political upheaval following Stalin's death, marking a significant turning point in Shostakovich's post-war symphonic output.
First released: 1987
