We come to No.7 in our series of the symphonies of Dmitri Shostakovich, written largely while the city was under siege. Shostakovich had been labeled an "Enemy of the People" not long before; now he was a "Hero of the Soviet Union."
Lucky for him, the meaning of the symphony was misunderstood..... And he had the good sense not to disagree.
