Beethoven Orchestra Koln, Roman Kofman I am so obsessed with this task that I write the whole day long….” wrote the 19 year old composer as he scored his 1st Symphony in 1925. On its completion the young Shostakovich submitted the work to his teacher, Glazunov, who set about changing the ‘difficult’ harmonies. Naturally, before the premiere, Shostakovich changed the orchestrations back again. The coupling on this CD of Symphonies 1 & 6 is that of the most enthusiastically received of Shostakovich’s symphonies, No 1, with that of one of his most criticised, No 6. | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Karita Mattila (soprano) & Thomas Quasthoff (bass) Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Sir Simon Rattle Rattle said of Symphony No. 14 “for me it’s the most important of his symphonies, because it reveals [Shostakovich] at his closest. Not only in the depth and darkness, but in the sudden irony, the sudden humour… you wouldn’t know where the next mood was going to come from. Very special.” | EMI - 3580772 (CD - 2 discs) £13.49 (£11.48 ex. VAT) |

Russian National Orchestra, Vladimir Jurowski “From the Netherlands-based outcrop of the old Philips label comes an exceptional coupling of the
masterly, youthful F minor symphony…and the comparatively neglected No. 6. Jurowski brings an
awesome majesty to the powerful, Mahlerian funeral march of the sixth…and his RNO is simply dazzling
in the high jinks of the scherzo passages in both works…this shouldn’t be missed.” Hugh Canning,
