Sjostakovitsj’ syvende symfoni
Dmitrij Sjostakovitsj’ skrev sin Symfoni nr. 7 som en hyllest til hjembyen Leningrad (nå St. Petersburg) mens den var beleiret i 1941. Symfonien ble et symbol på patriotisme og kampvilje både i øst og vest og gjorde Sjostakovitsj verdensberøm

Sommeren 1941 beleiret tyskerne Sjostakovitsj’ hjemby Leningrad. 1. oktober ble han evakuert i et lite militærfly sammen med kona og deres to små barn. Blant de få essensielle eiendelene de hadde med i bagasjen, var skissene til Symfoni nr. 7. Sjostakovitsj fullførte symfonien i Kuibychev, der den også ble urfremført i mars 1942. Om sommeren ble den spilt både i New York og i krigsherjede Leningrad. Symfoniens første sats beskriver hvordan krigen gjør sitt inntog i folks vanlige og fredelige liv, og ble et symbol på patriotisme og kampvilje.

Shostakovich's Seventh Symphony
Dmitri Shostakovich wrote his Symphony No. 7 as a tribute to his hometown of Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) while it was under siege in 1941. The symphony became a symbol of patriotism and fighting spirit in both East and West and made Shostakovich world famous.

In the summer of 1941, the Germans laid siege to Shostakovich's hometown of Leningrad. On 1 October, he was evacuated in a small military plane with his wife and two young children. Among the few essential possessions they carried in their luggage were the sketches for Symphony No. 7. Shostakovich completed the symphony in Kuibychev, where it was also premiered in March 1942. In the summer, it was played both in New York and in war-torn Leningrad. The symphony's first movement describes how the war makes its way into people's ordinary and peaceful lives, becoming a symbol of patriotism and fighting spirit.
