D. Shostakovich - Symphony No.7 “Leningradskaya” on the Banks of Neva In St Petersburg, Russia
Live stream from the concert of Dmitry Shostakovich’s Symphony No.7 (Leningradskaya), the composer dedicated to the Siege of Leningrad in the years of WWII.
The concert will be given on the Spit of Vasilyevsky Island in St Petersburg (Leningrad), performed by The Youth Symphony Orchestra of Russia, conducted by Yuri Bashmet in the day of the 80th Anniversary of it’s premiere in Leningrad (St Petersburg) at the 9th of August 1942.
It will be supported with the unique lighting and visual show consisted of 871 projectors - the symbolic number for Leningrad, as exactly 871 days lasted the Siege of Leningrad.
Dmitry Shostakovich started composing the Symphony No.7 in C major (Leningradskaya) in Leningrad, but finished in the town of Samara (back then called Kuybyishev) in December, 1941, where Shostakovich was in evacuation together with the musicians of the Bolshoi Theatre Orchestra.
The premiere of Symphony No.7 happened at the 5th of March, 1942 in Samara. It was harder to manage the premiere in Leningrad as back then it was under the siege by German forces. However, the score of the Symphony was delivered to Leningrad (dropped from the airplane) and starved musicians started the rehearsals. The collective of Leningrad Radio Orchestra, conducted by Karl Eliasberg, got ready to premiere it in Leningrad at the 9th of August, 1942 in the Grand Hall of Leningrad Philharmonic (now named after Dmitry Shostakovich).
Leningrad Radio Committee broadcasted the Premiere on the radio all over Leningrad and the Soviet Union.
