Symphony no. 8
Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Заслуженный коллектив России Академический симфонический оркестр Санкт-Петербургской филармонии & Yevgeny Aleksandrovich Mravinsky
Symphony No. 8 is the eighth symphony by Soviet composer Dmitri Shostakovich, composed in 1943. The four-movement work is marked by sombre, densely scored orchestration, stark dynamic contrasts and anguished thematic material that reflect wartime tensions, and it occupies a pivotal place in Shostakovich's output as an intense, introspective response to the Second World War.
