Symphonies no. 2 & 12
Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Beethoven Orchester Bonn & Roman Kofman
Symphonies No. 2 & 12 is a compilation recording of orchestral works by Dmitri Shostakovich, comprising symphonies composed in 1927 and 1961. The 1927 work is short and experimental and uses chorus and modernist orchestral textures connected with Shostakovich's early career, while the 1961 symphony is a broader, more direct orchestral statement tied to his later output and to political themes in mid-20th-century Soviet music.
