Symphony No. 7 "Leningrad" 蕭斯塔科維契,德米特里 交響曲

我將我的第七交響曲獻給我們的反法西斯鬥爭，獻給我們即將戰勝的敵人，獻給我的故鄉列寧格勒。'現代很少有交響曲能像肖斯塔科維奇的《列寧格勒交響曲》那樣引起音樂之外的猜測，該交響曲的前三個樂章是在列寧格勒被圍困的最初幾個月裡寫成的，之後作曲家和他的家人于 1941 年 10 月被疏散到莫斯科。這首交響曲立即成為全世界反對希特勒暴政的象徵，不過今天看來，這首交響曲的靈感可能既來自史達林在 20 世紀 30 年代的暴行，也來自 1941 年 6 月納粹入侵俄羅斯的暴行。然而，無論其創作動機如何，這部比例勻稱的列寧格勒交響曲都是英雄主義和人類在巨大衝突和匱乏時期忍耐力的見證"

原文簡介:
'I dedicate my Seventh Symphony to our struggle against fascism, to our coming victory over the enemy, to my native city, Leningrad.'Few symphonies written in modern times have attracted the degree of extra-musical speculation accorded Shostakovich's LeningradSymphony, the first three movements of which were written during the initial months of the siege of Leningrad before the composer and his family were evacuated to Moscow in October 1941. It became an immediate worldwide symbol of the opposition to the tyranny of Hitler, though today it seems that the Symphony's inspiration may have stemmed as much from Stalin's atrocities during the 1930s as from the brutalities of the Nazi invasion of Russia in June 1941. Whatever the motivation behind its genesis, however, the epically-proportioned Leningrad Symphonystands as a testament to heroism and human endurance at a time of overwhelming conflict and deprivation.
