Symphony no. 11 (The Year 1905)

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & SWR Symphonieorchester & Eliahu Inbal

Symphony No. 11 in G minor, Op. 103, 'The Year 1905' is the eleventh symphony by Soviet composer Dmitri Shostakovich, composed and premiered in 1957. The four-movement orchestral work uses programme-like gestures and evocative orchestration—processional rhythms, sombre brass chorales and lamenting strings—to depict episodes associated with the 1905 Russian Revolution and it sits within Shostakovich's late-1950s phase of large-scale, historically oriented compositions.
