Shostakovich Symphony no 5

Here’s the second and fourth movements of Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony (which I’ll be playing with Sinfonia of Leeds at the end of June 2007).  

These clips are of Evgeny Mravinsky conducting the Leningrad orchestra.  Looks very ‘Russian’, but great performances!  Enjoy!


Second Movement: Allegretto


Fourth Movement: Allegretto non troppo
