Shostakovich: Symphony #7 In C, Op. 60, "Leningrad" - 1. Allegretto
Composer Dmitry Shostakovich, who witnessed the horrific Siege of Leningrad by the nazi germans, wrote his legendary 7th Symphony in the first year of the war. The symphony has become a symbol of resistance and the will for victory. More than 600,000 people died of hunger in the blockade of city of Leningrad now known as St. Petersburg. Shostakovichs music was written to inspire the city under siege.

Premiered in the city of Leningrad (St Petersburg) while it was under seige, by an ad hoc orchestra of civilians and soldiers from the front line, and broadcast on the radio. One German soldier who picked up the broadcast and listened to it all the way through came to the conclusion that the Wehrmacht would never take Leningrad.
The Day of Sagittarius music!
