The core of which - Symphonies Nos. 5-10 - is scheduled for recording and release over the next two years.Andris Nelsons has had a long journey with Shostakovich. He is one of the last conductors of his generation who still grew up in the Russian and, more especially, the Soviet musical tradition ever since he started his training as a conductor. He studied in St Petersburg with Alexander Titov and also with Mariss Jansons. His new orchestra has had a great tradition in performing many of Shostakovich’s works in America for the first time.The theme of the first album with Shostakovich´s 10th Symphony and Passacaglia from Lady Macbeth is a reflection on Shostakovich and Stalin. Lady Macbeth was the piece which brought criticism of his work and the radical change of style, whereas Symphony 10 is from the year Stalin died: the long arc of censorship of Shostakovich until Stalin's death, and the composer's response to this.Type: AlbumMPN: 4795059Release Year: 2015Tracks: 1: Passacaglia2: Moderato3: Allegro4: Allegretto5: Andante - Allegro Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
