Symphony no. 11 in G minor, op. 103 "The Year 1905"

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Заслуженный коллектив России Академический симфонический оркестр Санкт-Петербургской филармонии & Yevgeny Aleksandrovich Mravinsky

Symphony No. 11 in G minor, Op. 103, titled 'The Year 1905', is the eleventh symphony by Soviet composer Dmitri Shostakovich, composed in 1957. The four-movement orchestral work employs a largely tonal language with prominent brass, winds and percussion to evoke sombre, programme-driven scenes related to the 1905 Russian Revolution, and it represents a move in Shostakovich's later output towards overt historical and public themes within the context of Soviet-era music.
