About

Pentatone continues the Russian National Orchestra’s highly acclaimed recordings of the Shostakovich Symphonies with the composers most prominent symphonic composition; Symphony No.5. This work was significant in that it was the composers answer to “fair criticism” after the critical mauling of Lady Macbeth and was seen to conform to socialist ideology – however Shostakovich had developed a mastery of musical ambiguity. Symphony No.9 was a symphony in the style of Haydn, but grotesquely altered, full of grimaces and odd gestures.
