Music for the Film "The Gadfly"

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Emin Khachaturian & Российский государственный симфонический оркестр кинематографии

Music for the Film "The Gadfly" is a film score by Soviet composer Dmitri Shostakovich, composed in 1955. The score combines late-Romantic orchestral colours and lyrical melodies with cinematic gestures such as march-like rhythms and brass chorales, and it forms part of Shostakovich's mid-1950s film output, exemplifying his orchestral writing alongside his symphonic works.
