Symphony no. 11

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & National Symphony Orchestra & Mstislav Rostropovich

Symphony No. 11 is the eleventh symphony by Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich, composed and premiered in 1957. The work is a large-scale orchestral symphony that draws on late-Romantic and revolutionary-era sonorities, featuring broad melodies, prominent brass and wind chorales, vivid orchestral colour and contrasting march-like and sombre episodes, and it represents a key example of Shostakovich's engagement with programme-like historical themes during his late-middle period.
