| |  | Shostakovich - Symphonies Nos. 1 & 14
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.” “…the Berlin strings catch every shade and dynamic under Rattle's rigorous direction, and the percussion resonates in Philharmonie acoustics. On a bonus disc comes a focused performance of the First Symphony, calculated in its fits and starts but always alive.” BBC Music Magazine, July 2006 **** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Shostakovich: Symphony No. 14 in G minor, Op. 135
Julia Korpacheva (soprano) & Petr Migunov (bass) MusicAeterna Novosibirsk, Teodor Currentzis (direction) After a striking Dido and Aeneas Teodor Currentzis and his Siberian orchestra present a new version of Shostakovich’s 14th Symphony, dedicated to Benjamin Britten, that leaves us breathless. He maintains a scrupulous respect for the score and the musicological context in order to give a new energy to the music. Currentzis is not an artist who barges into the music to produce artificial effects. On the contrary, this recording proves again that the strength of his work comes, above all, from a meticulous respect for the score’s details, with a coherent larger picture of the interpretation. A lesson that teaches us what the ‘early music spirit’ can provide to all repertoire. | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days.

Gidon Kremer (violin), Yulia Korpacheva (soprano) & Fedor Kuznetsov (bass) Kremerata Baltica “…an extremely dramatic an atmospheric performance of the Shostakovich 14th Symphony, the more unusual for being conducted by Gidon Kremer from the concertmaster's desk. …magnificent playing from the Kremerata Baltica and two first-rate soloists: The coupling is the Adagio from Mahler's Tenth Symphony in an arrangement for string... This tow is beautifully played... But certain things - notably the huge 'death chord' ... don't work in this medium...” BBC Music Magazine, January 2008 ***** | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |
