Symphonies nos. 1 & 5
Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & London Philharmonic Orchestra & Koninklijk Concertgebouworkest & Bernard Haitink
Symphonies nos. 1 & 5 are orchestral works by Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich, composed in 1925 and 1937 respectively. The first is a compact, youthful symphony showing neoclassical clarity, ironic wit and modernist touches that announced his emergence, while the fifth is a larger, more dramatic work characterised by expanded orchestration, contrasting lyricism and stark dynamic shifts that came to typify his middle-period output amid Soviet cultural pressures.
First released: 2012
