The Study Music Collection: Shostakovich Symphony No. 7 "Leningrad"

Study music continues. If the last one wasn't long enough of a youtube clip, well this one is almost an hour and a half long. Behold, Dmitri Shostakovich's glorious Leningrad Symphony! Conducted by the legendary maestro Bernstein. If you don't know who that composer is, shame on you, you uncultured ape. Now go to wikipedia and become a cultured chimpanzee like myself.

Originally, Shostakovich dedicated this piece to the life and deeds of Vladimir Lenin, so there's something for you Leftists in there too.

In any case this won't be the last Shostakovich post, so stay tuned. What? You didn't think this was a classical music blog? You must be mistaken. This is a music blog. Anything goes.
