Shostakovich: Symphonies Nos. 2, 3, 12 & 13

Description

To conclude their Shostakovich cycle, which won “rightly three Grammy Awards” according to The New York Times, Andris Nelsons and the Boston Symphony Orchestra explore the composer’s changing identity and political convictions under the Soviet regime. With Symphonies Nos. 2, 3, 12 and 13, they trace a 35-year period in Shostakovich’s creative and personal development, from the idealism of youth to the disillusionment and resignation of maturity. Bass-baritone Matthias Goerne is featured with an impressive performance of the “Babi Yar” solos in Symphony No. 13, supported by the Tanglewood Festival Chorus (also present in Symphonies Nos. 2 & 3) and the New England Conservatory Philharmonic Choir.
