Symphony #11
Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Dresdner Philharmonie & Michael Sanderling
Symphony No. 11 in G minor is the eleventh symphony by Dmitri Shostakovich, composed and premiered in 1957. The work is an orchestral, programme-oriented piece rooted in mid-20th-century Soviet symphonic practice, employing large forces, sombre brass, march-like motifs and evocative textures to depict scenes associated with 1905, and it represents a turn toward explicitly historical and publicly resonant subjects in Shostakovich's late-1950s output.
