Shostakovich's Symphony No. 15

About

Shostakovich's Symphony No. 15 in A major (op. 141), composed in 1971, was his final symphony. It is notable for its cryptic musical quotations - including themes from Rossini's William Tell and Wagner's Ring cycle - woven together with sudden, sombre outbursts. The work is widely heard as a deeply personal meditation on mortality.
