Symphony no. 4 in C minor, op. 43

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Royal Scottish National Orchestra & Neeme Järvi

Symphony No. 4 in C minor, Op. 43 is a symphony by Soviet composer Dmitri Shostakovich, completed in 1936. Scored for a very large orchestra, it juxtaposes late-Romantic orchestration and modernist dissonance through dense textures, sharp contrasts and prominent brass and percussion writing, and occupies a transitional place in Shostakovich's output as he moved from earlier experimental tendencies toward the more constrained style that followed under political pressure in the late 1930s.
