Symphony no. 10 / Festival Overture

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & London Philharmonic Orchestra & Andrew Litton

This album is a recording of orchestral works by Dmitri Shostakovich from 1953 to 1954. The music is in the mid-20th century Soviet symphonic idiom, with large-scale orchestration, stark brass statements and contrasting slow movements, and it comes from a period when the composer moved toward more extrovert textures after 1953.
