Dmitri Shostakovichs Symphony No. 60, titled Leningrad, was completed in Samara in December 1941 and premiered in that city on March 5, 1942. At first dedicated to Lenin, it was eventually submitted in honor of the besieged city of Leningrad, where it was first played under dire circumstances on August 9, 1942, with the siege by Axis and Finnish forces ongoing. The Leningrad soon became popular in both the Soviet Union and the West as a symbol of resistance to fascism, thanks in. Album 1991 4 Songs. Symphony No. 7 in C Major, Op. 60, Leningrad: I.

Barcelona Symphony and Catalonia National Orchestra Pablo González, director, conductor L'Auditori concert hall The symphony is written in the Shostakovich decided to connect his life to music in childhood. In 1919, when he enrolled at the Petrograd Conservatory, the revolution had just died down, World War I was over, and a civil war was raging in the country. It was cold in the Conservatory classes, but Shostakovich had no intention of giving up music and went to concerts at the Philharmonia every day. His Symphony No. 7 was performed in besieged Leningrad. The composer began writing his Seventh Symphony in September 1941, during World War II. In Leningrad, he composed three parts of the work, and finished working on it in Kuibyshev now Samara in December. At the time, the 35-year-old Shostakovich was head of the Leningrad Conservatoires piano department. He began work on his Seventh Symphony in the first hot days of July. Neither savage raids, German planes, nor the grim atmosphere of the beleaguered city could hinder the flow, he recalled. I worked with an inhuman intensity I have never before reached. More than 600,000 people died in the siege. After enduring the terrible conditions for a month, Shostakovich agreed to be evacuated to Moscow, taking the completed first three movements of the symphony along.
