Symphonies nos. 3 & 10

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Orchestra of the Mariinsky Theatre & Mariinsky Theatre Chorus & Valery Gergiev

Symphonies Nos. 3 and 10 are orchestral works by Dmitri Shostakovich, composed in 1929 and 1953 respectively. The two works contrast an early, experimental, choral-inflected modernism with a later, large-scale symphonic language characterised by stark orchestral textures, incisive rhythmic gestures and a turn toward more introspective, politically resonant expression in the composer's mid-career output.
First released: 28th March 2011
