Symphony no. 7 "Leningrad"
Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & New York Philharmonic & Kurt Masur
Symphony No. 7 "Leningrad" is the seventh symphony by Soviet composer Dmitri Shostakovich, completed in 1941 and first performed in 1942. The work employs large-scale orchestration with stark contrasts between bombastic, march-like material and expansive lyrical passages that reflect wartime tensions, and it occupies a major place in Shostakovich's wartime output and in the cultural history of the Second World War.
