Auerbach · Shostakovich · Music for Violin and Piano

“Vadim Gluzman and Angela Yoffe, an impressive well matched husband-and-wife team, give a powerful account of the 1968 Shostakovich Sonata. This performance rises to its demands - extremes of tone and virtuoso intensity - the central Allegretto projecting an atmosphere of glittering ferocity. The Jazz Suite No 1 of 1934... takes us back to a very different Shostakovich: the wit may be sardonic but the mood remains light-hearted and upbeat. The Sonata, Auerbach's response to the events of 9/11, is on a far grander scale, with big, even melodramatic gestures. It's a well made piece, imaginatively cast for the two instruments and with some beautiful, inspiring moments...” --Gramophone

“…the centre of gravity of this recital is a magnificently eloquent and understanding performance of Shostakovich's Violin Sonata, which as the years pass comes to seem one of the greatest of his late works. …Gluzman and Yoffe infuse the music with an expressive glow that transcends its innate austerity.” --BBC Music Magazine *****

Shostakovich · Symphony No. 9 · Piano Concerto No. 1, Etc.

This CD centres on the lighter side of Shostakovich – or, more accurately, his lighter sides, since the styles range from the pointed neo-Classical wit of the Ninth Symphony to the Keystone Kops mayhem of the First Piano Concerto to the more genial light-music parody of the score to the cinematic comedy The Adventures of Korzinkina. --International Record Review

But the Two Choruses, Op. 124, Shostakovich’s contribution to a collaborative cantata celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Revolution, are portents of greater choral outpourings to come in the 13th Symphony and the Execution of Stepan Razin. And the brief, 9-minute suite of music from the 1940 film The Adventures of Korzinkina, the composer’s Op. 59, leaves one wanting more. Perhaps when he’s done with the symphonies, Polyansky can bring us more of that under-explored corner of Shostakovich’s output. --American Record Guide

Shostakovich | Symphonies Nos. 1 & 15

Mariinsky Orchestra · Valery Gergiev

Over 45 years separate the composition of Symphonies Nos 1 and 15 and yet both exude creativity and Shostakovich’s dark wit. The First Symphony owes much to the influence of Shostakovich’s Russian predecessors including Tchaikovsky and Scriabin. However it also reflects contemporary artistic life and the optimism of the early years in the Soviet Union. By contrast the final symphony is a more bitter work, drawing on many of the themes that recur throughout Shostakovich’s career and yet never resorting to melodrama.

‘The orchestra under Gergiev is terrific. Doom laden brass, jaunty woodwind and clattering percussion all come together with total conviction’ --Daily Telegraph

Shostakovich · Franck | Violin Sonatas

Sergey & Lusine Khachatryan

This is an unusual but very exciting issue. I would never have thought that the soaring lyricism of César Franck would make a good bedfellow for Shostakovich’s very disturbing Sonata, but they work so well together, especially in such superb performances. The sound is superb, with a real concert hall feel and there is an excellent balance between the players. --MWInternational

Echoes of Time · Shostakovich · Kancheri · Pärt · Rachmaninov

Lisa Batiashvili · Grimaud · Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks · Salonen

Lisa Batiashvili grew up listening to her father's string quartet playing Shostakovich, so it's no surprise that she should choose the composer's Violin Concerto No 1 as the centrepiece of her Deutsche Grammophon debut, on which she's accompanied by the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks under Esa-Pekka Salonen. It's a marvellous performance, suitably crepuscular in the opening "Nocturne", before a Gypsy flamboyance takes over for "Scherzo". Salonen proves the perfect accomplice in realising the album's theme of works reflective of the Soviet era, the programme including pieces by Soviet emigrés Arvo Pärt and Giya Kancheli: the latter's "V & V", for violin, voice and strings, is a subtle work of haunting melancholy.

Shostakovich · The Symphonies

Mariss Jansons 'EMI Shostakovich siklus simfoni waktu hampir dua dekade untuk menyelesaikan, namun hal itu adalah hanya minggu setelah rilis angsuran terakhir (Symphonies 3 & 14) bahwa serangkaian kotak baru muncul, memberikan kesempatan bagi para kolektor untuk mendapatkan semua 15 simfoni di dengan harga murah. Tapi jangan biarkan dimensi kecil kemasan yang menipu anda: tidak ada yang kecil tentang pembuatan musik.

Jansons mempertahankan standar yang tinggi keunggulan dari rekaman pertama (Symphony No 7) untuk yang terakhir dengan pendekatan ramping, kencang yang menekankan nilai-nilai musik serta dampak emosional. Ini adalah jalan tengah antara histeria belaka ditimbulkan oleh Kondrashin dan Mravinsky dan kehangatan gelap yang ditemukan di Haitink Concertgebouw Orchestra rekaman. Tapi bacaan Jansons 'yang menarik di kanan mereka sendiri, mencapai tingkat intensitas yang sering mencengkeram. Anda dapat mendengar ini cukup banyak semua simfoni, meskipun No 4,, 8 10, 13, & 14 yang ZONA tertentu. Siklus Rudolf Barshai itu (tipe Q4581 dalam Ulasan Pencarian) dipekerjakan salah satu orkestra yang sangat baik yang ia berkembang menjadi sebuah mesin Shostakovich berarti. Jansons menggunakan tidak kurang dari delapan ansambel yang berbeda, dan itu luar biasa bagaimana ia menjaga konsistensi penafsiran.

Bavarian Radio Symphony mengambil bagian terbesar dari pekerjaan, menyediakan enam pertunjukan virtuoso (No 2-4 dan 12-14). Philadelphia Orchestra memainkan marvellously dalam no 10 & 11. Leningrad / St. Petersburg Philharmonic mengejutkan dengan tajam bermain di Symphony No 7; Symphony Pittsburgh adalah kuat dalam No 8; kejutan Wina dengan gelisah-terdengar Nomor 5; Berlin menyediakan cat biasa No 1; dan London Philharmonic memberikan Nomor sangat bagus 15. Hanya bermain relatif biasa dari Oslo Philharmonic no 6 & 9 jatuh hanya singkat ini tingkat tinggi, tapi itu sangat cukup untuk tugas tersebut.

Suara adalah seragam yang sangat baik, meskipun rekaman Radio Bavaria berada dalam kelas sendiri. Set mencakup semua pengisi dari rilis asli kecuali dalam satu kasus - kinerja denda Mussorgsky Lagu dan Tarian Kematian yang digabungkan dengan No 10 sekarang hilang. Barshai kuat, menetapkan idiomatik, dan mengesankan tunggal berpikiran masih satu untuk mengalahkan, tetapi siklus Jansons 'sangat berhasil adalah alternatif yang menarik, apalagi sekarang dengan harga murah. - Victor Carr Jr, ClassicsToday.com
