Symphony no. 7 "Leningrad"

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Toronto Symphony Orchestra & Peter Oundjian

Symphony No. 7 "Leningrad" is the seventh symphony by Dmitri Shostakovich, composed in 1941. The symphony is a large-scale orchestral work that juxtaposes expansive, march-like themes with turbulent, dissonant passages and lyrical slow episodes, reflecting the wartime siege context and forming part of Shostakovich's wartime output and the Soviet symphonic repertoire of the 1940s.
