Description

Dmitri Shostakovich's symphonies, along with those of Gustav Mahler, are among the most impressive and frequently performed works of the 20th century. The variety and depth of these remarkable masterpieces paint an almost seamless biographical picture of the composer and his era. This 2004 cycle, reissued here, featuring conductor Dmitrij Kitajenko and the Cologne Gürzenich Orchestra, has become one of the reference recordings on the international music market, both for its highly acclaimed artistic interpretation and its sound quality. Born in Leningrad, Kitajenko drives the Cologne orchestra to peak performances with bold tempos and expansive dynamics.
