Symphony no. 9 / Violin Concerto no. 1

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Leonidas Kavakos & Симфонический оркестр Мариинского театра & Valery Gergiev

Symphony No. 9 / Violin Concerto No. 1 is an album of works by the Soviet composer Dmitri Shostakovich, with the symphony composed in 1945 and the concerto composed in 1948. The music spans symphonic and concerto forms within mid-20th-century classical idioms, combining brisk, ironic orchestral textures and neoclassical clarity with a lyrically intense, often austere solo violin part that reflects the composer's post-war stylistic tensions and the broader context of Soviet musical life.
