Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Симфонический оркестр Мариинского театра & Valery Gergiev
Symphony No. 8 in C minor is the eighth symphony by Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich, composed in 1943. The work is a large-scale, sombre orchestral composition characterised by dense textures, chromaticism and stark contrasts in mood, and it occupies a central place in Shostakovich's wartime output and in mid-20th-century symphonic repertoire.
