This source is a live recording of a 1979 performance by the New York Philharmonic in Bunka Kainan, Tokyo, Japan. Shostakovich composed this piece for orchestra in 1937 and was first performed by the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra in November of the same year. This work was met with unprecedented success, as his more recent works had been met with much criticism.
