Shostakovich: Symphonies Nos. 4, 5, 6. Mariinsky Orchestra, Valery Gergiev

Valery Gergiev continues his acclaimed Shostakovich symphony cycle with his sixth release, a 2-SACD set of consecutive symphonies 4, 5 & 6.

“This studio recording by Gergiev and the Mariinsky Orchestra of St Petersburg makes as strong a case for the music’s unwieldy sprawl as you will hear today...Gergiev’s ongoing Shostakovich cycle should, on this reckoning, end up among the greats.” Financial Times

“on compelling form … worthy of anyone’s attention.” International Record Review
