Shostakovich: Symphony No. 5

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Mstislav Rostropovich

Symphony No. 5 in D minor, Op. 47, is a symphony by Dmitri Shostakovich, composed in 1937. The work juxtaposes sweeping late-Romantic orchestration with stark, march-like motifs and abrupt contrasts of mood, and its musical language and reception reflected and responded to intense political pressures in the Soviet Union, marking a pivotal moment in Shostakovich's public career.
