#Shostakovich: Symphony No. 7 in C major "Leningrad" Op. 60
4 months ago
37
Dmitri Shostakovich's Symphony No. 7 in C major, Op. 60, entitled Leningrad (today St. Petersburg), was written around 1939-40. Initially dedicated at Vladimir Lenin, Shostakovich decided to rededicate it to the resistance to the Nazi siege by the people of Leningrad. Soon the work was adopted in both the Soviet Union and the West as a symbol of resistance to Nazist totalitarianism. To this day it symbolizes the sacrifice of the approximately 25 million Soviets who fell during World War II and condemns the German invasion of the Soviet Union.
