Symphony no. 7 "Leningrad"

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Česká filharmonie & Václav Neumann

Symphony No. 7 "Leningrad" is the seventh symphony by Dmitri Shostakovich, composed in 1941 and premiered in 1942. The work is a large-scale orchestral symphony associated with the siege of Leningrad, characterised by expansive melodies, stark contrasts between triumphant and sombre material, prominent brass and percussion writing and extended developmental passages, and stands as a prominent wartime statement in Shostakovich's output and in 20th-century music history.
