ABOUT THE ARTIST
Dmitri Shostakovich's Symphony No. 7 in C major, Op. 60 'Leningrad', was written round 1939-1940. Initially dedicated to the life and deeds of Vladimir Lenin, Shostakovich decided instead to dedicate the symphony to the city of Leningrad on its completion in December 1941. The Leningrad première of the piece occurred while the city was under siege by Nazi forces. The work remains one of Shostakovich's best-known compositions. The piece soon became very popular in both the Soviet Union and the West as a symbol of resistance to Nazi totalitarianism and militarism. It is still regarded as the major musical testament of the estimated 25 million Soviet citizens who lost their lives in World War II. The symphony is played frequently at the Leningrad Cemetery, where half a million victims of the 900-day Siege of Leningrad are buried. Tracklist: LP 1 - Side A: I. Allegretto 27:46 Side B: II.
