Symphony no. 10 in E minor, op. 93 / Ballet Suite no. 4
Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Royal Scottish National Orchestra & Neeme Järvi
This orchestral release features works by Dmitri Shostakovich and centres on a large-scale symphony composed in 1953 alongside a ballet suite presented together on a single album. Musically it contrasts sombre, tightly wrought, rhythmically driven passages and incisive brass writing with more expansive, lyrical episodes and varied orchestral colours, reflecting a significant turning point in the composer's post-war output as he reassessed form and tonality.
