About

This CD contains the first Western performance of Shostakovich's vast Symphony No.12 'The Year 1917' given in the Usher Hall, Edinburgh in September 1962 with the composer in attendance. This historic event was recorded by the BBC in excellent stereo.

The coupling of Shostakovich's high spirited Symphony No.6 showcases Rozhdestvensky as music director of the BBCSO in 1980, this time from the Royal Festival Hall in superb stereo.

Three Shostakovich arrangements have been added as bonuses, including the famous treatment given to Youman's Tea for Two.
