Symphony no. 7 “Leningrad”

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & NBC Symphony Orchestra & Leopold Stokowski

Symphony No. 7 in C major, Op. 60, 'Leningrad' is the seventh symphony by Dmitri Shostakovich, completed in 1941 and first performed in 1942. The four-movement orchestral work uses late-Romantic and Soviet-era symphonic language with large-scale orchestration, contrasting martial and lyrical material and recurring ostinato-driven passages, and it forms a significant part of Shostakovich's wartime output associated with the Siege of Leningrad.
