"Officially" speaking, Shostakovich's 11th Symphony is about the 1905 Revolution.
Shostakovich actually dedicated the Eleventh Symphony to the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, but there is no way that would have flown with the Stalinist authorities. So he "officially" made the symphony about 1905.

A symphony dedicated to the City of Leningrad and the great hero soldier who stood alone against superior odds, the great and humble leader Josef Stalin.

Indeed. Sorry about that. I felt in a prickish mood at the time.

If you are looking for a great rendition of the 7h, you may want to listen to Leonard Bernstein and CSO, 1989.

WTF? It's about Leningrad in WW2 you fuckin idiot! Way after The Revolution.
I agree with the guy below; the title's misleading. I thoughly enjoyed nonetheless. Thanks for posting.

I take it this would be a good backing track for a documentary about the 1905 Revolution?
