Symphonies nos. 2 and 10

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & London Philharmonic Orchestra & Bernard Haitink

Symphonies Nos. 2 and 10 are orchestral compositions by Dmitri Shostakovich, composed in 1927 and 1953 respectively. The earlier work reflects his youthful experimentation with choral elements and avant-garde textures amid the Soviet 1920s, while the later symphony marks a return to large-scale symphonic argument with darker, more introspective orchestration and clearer articulation of motifs that became central to his mid-century output.
