Symphony no. 4

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Wiener Symphoniker & Eliahu Inbal

Symphony No. 4 is the fourth symphony by Dmitri Shostakovich, completed in 1936. The sprawling, densely scored work blends late-Romantic and modernist elements with abrupt contrasts, extended development and complex orchestration, and occupies a pivotal place in Shostakovich's output as an experimental piece completed shortly before the political denunciations of 1936 that prompted a more cautious public style.
First released: 20th January 2010
