Symphony no. 8
Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Rudolf Barshai & Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra
Symphony No. 8 is the eighth symphony by Dmitri Shostakovich, composed in 1943. The four-movement orchestral work sits within the mid-20th-century Soviet symphonic tradition, characterised by dense orchestration, sombre motifs and wide dynamic contrasts that reflect a turbulent moment in his career during World War II.
