Symphony No. 7 "Leningrad"

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & New York Philharmonic & Leonard Bernstein

Symphony No. 7 "Leningrad" is a symphony by Soviet composer Dmitri Shostakovich, composed in 1941 and premiered in 1942. The work is a large-scale orchestral composition in four movements that juxtaposes march-like material, expansive orchestration and quieter lyrical passages, utilising ostinato figures and dramatic contrasts to reflect the wartime context, and it forms part of Shostakovich's wartime output and 20th-century symphonic repertoire.
