Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Peter Oundjian & Toronto Symphony Orchestra

Symphony No. 11 'The Year 1905' is the eleventh symphony by Soviet composer Dmitri Shostakovich, composed in 1957. The work employs a large orchestra and dramatic, programmatic gestures that evoke revolutionary events, reflecting Shostakovich's mid-career engagement with historical and commemorative subjects and illustrating his blending of tonal centres with vivid orchestral colour within the Soviet symphonic tradition.
