Symphony no. 5 in D minor, op. 47 / Ballet Suite no. 5 from "The Bolt", op. 27a

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

Symphony No. 5 in D minor, Op. 47 and the Ballet Suite No. 5 from The Bolt, Op. 27a are orchestral works by Dmitri Shostakovich, composed in 1937 and 1931 respectively. The symphony is a large-scale four-movement orchestral work that combines traditional symphonic forms with brisk rhythms, expanded brass writing and dramatic contrasts, while the ballet suite distils music from the stage score into dance-like movements featuring incisive orchestration and theatrical gestures; together they mark a shift in Shostakovich's output towards music intended for public performance and stage drama.
