Symphony no. 4

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Radio Filharmonisch Orkest & Mark Wigglesworth

Symphony No. 4 is the fourth symphony by Dmitri Shostakovich, composed in 1936. The work is a large-scale, densely orchestrated symphony that blends late-Romantic orchestral grandeur with modernist dissonance and turbulent textures, and its withdrawal and delayed premiere reflect a pivotal turning point in Shostakovich's career within the pressures of the Soviet cultural climate.
