Symphony no. 10 in E minor

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Bernard Haitink & London Philharmonic Orchestra

Symphony No. 10 in E minor, Op. 93, is the tenth symphony by Soviet composer Dmitri Shostakovich, completed in 1953. The four-movement orchestral work combines late-Romantic orchestral colour with modernist dissonance, stark contrasts and driving rhythms, and marks a turning point in Shostakovich's output following Stalin's death as he moved toward a renewed symphonic scope and intensified personal expression.
