Symphony no. 5, op. 47

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Kungliga Filharmonikerna & Yuri Ahronovich

Symphony No. 5 in D minor, Op. 47 is a symphony by Dmitri Shostakovich, completed and premiered in 1937. The work employs a broadly tonal symphonic language with sharp rhythmic incisiveness, stark dynamic contrasts and moments of sardonic irony, and it occupies a key place in Shostakovich's output as a public-facing response to the political pressures he faced in the Soviet Union during the 1930s.
