Symphony no. 8
Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Российский национальный оркестр & Paavo Berglund
Symphony No. 8 in C minor, Op. 65, is the eighth symphony by Dmitri Shostakovich, composed in 1943. The four-movement work is characterised by sombre, expansive orchestral writing, marked dissonance and dramatic contrasts that reflect the wartime context and signify a darker, more introspective phase in Shostakovich's symphonic output.
