Symphony no. 4
Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Rotterdams Philharmonisch Orkest & Yannick Nézet‐Séguin
Symphony No. 4 is the fourth symphony by Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich, composed in 1935–36. The sprawling, large-scale work combines late-Romantic orchestral forces, complex counterpoint and abrupt dissonant episodes alongside lyrical passages, and occupies a pivotal place in his career because official criticism in 1936 led him to withdraw it from performance for decades before it entered the repertoire.
First released: 8th June 2018
