Symphony no. 5
Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Houston Symphony & Christoph Eschenbach
Symphony No. 5 in D minor, Op. 47 is the fifth symphony by Soviet composer Dmitri Shostakovich, composed in 1937. The four-movement work juxtaposes brooding, intense orchestral passages with outwardly triumphant material, blending late-Romantic orchestration with sharply modern harmonic language and marking a pivotal moment in Shostakovich's career as a publicly presented response to political pressures in the Soviet Union.
First released: 1989
