Shostakovich, Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra, Kirill Kondrashin - Symphony 7 Leningrad
Review by Shaneel Maharaj
Symphony 7 Leningrad by Shostakovich, performed by the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra and conducted by Kirill Kondrashin, is a masterpiece of classical music that captures the essence of the human spirit amidst the horrors of war.
The album features four movements that take the listener on a journey through the siege of Leningrad during World War II. The first movement, "Allegretto," begins with a hauntingly beautiful melody that builds into a powerful crescendo, evoking the struggle and determination of the people of Leningrad.
The second movement, "Moderato (Poco allegretto)," is a somber and reflective piece that conveys the sadness and loss of life during the siege. The third movement, "Adagio," is a hauntingly beautiful piece that captures the despair and hopelessness of the people of Leningrad.
The final movement, "Allegro non troppo," is a triumphant and uplifting piece that celebrates the resilience and courage of the people of Leningrad. The Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra's performance is impeccable, with each note and melody perfectly executed under the masterful direction of Kirill Kondrashin.
