Shostakovich - Symphony No. 5, Op. 47

Finnish conductor Santtu-Matias Rouvali conducts the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra in a performance of Dmitri Shostakovich's Symphony No. 5 in D-minor, Op. 47. The Symphony quotes Shostakovich's song Vozrozhdenije (Op. 46, No. 1), which is set to the poem by Pushkin and deals about the subject of rebirth. The mournful Largo movement recalls a genre of Russian symphonic works written in memory of the dead. The harmonic idiom of the work is more tonal than previous symphonies with thematic material being more accessible. The 1937 premiere of the work, which was received remarkably well by critics and the public, was considered a triumph for Shostakovich This performance was recorded at the Gothenburg Concert Hall (Konserthuset) in Sweden, 2020.
