Shostakovich: Symphony No. 15

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Münchner Philharmoniker & Valery Gergiev

Symphony No. 15 is the fifteenth symphony by Soviet composer Dmitri Shostakovich, composed in 1971. The work is a compact, late-period orchestral piece that juxtaposes terse, often sardonic motifs with reflective, chamber-like textures, utilising varied orchestral colours and ironic quotations to occupy a distinctive place in Shostakovich's late output and 20th-century symphonic repertoire.
First released: 24th March 2017
