Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich

Symphony No. 7 in C major "Leningrad" is the seventh symphony by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich, composed in 1941. The four-movement orchestral work employs large-scale forces, contrasts between march-like and lyrical material, and extended climactic passages that reflect the wartime context of the siege of Leningrad, representing a significant wartime statement in Shostakovich's output and in twentieth-century Soviet music history.
