  • the piece tells the story of what Leningrad which was Shostakovich's home town endured, it was the longest besieged city in modern warfare, it endured almost three years of being under attack by the Nazi's the music was a call to arms for the Russians to rise up

    and to defend their motherland.

  • do you think you could post the rest of this?

  • Thanks, absolutely superb!

  • This orchestra has an amazing sound! I really enjoy this post and would love to see the rest of the symphony! Thanks for putting this movement up!

  • 7:08 Big Lol :)

  • For a westerner to truly understand this piece read Harrison Salisbury's "The 900 Days" the story of the siege of Leningrad where over 1 million people died of starvation.

  • While composing this symphony, Shostakovitch was serving in the Leningrad Fire Department, The symphony was reduced on microfilm and flown out of the besieged city where it would be performed in Moscow and New York.

  • hmm... this symphony is in Japanese... lol
