    “It is hard to imagine a better orchestra than the BSO to play Shostakovich’s music nowadays” wrote OperaWire on performances by the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Andris Nelsons. Nelsons has been steadily recording Shostakovich’s symphonies for some years now for Deutsche Grammophon. Now, the Boston Symphony Orchestra and its Music Director Andris Nelsons mark their tenth anniversary together and the 50th anniversary of the composer’s death by presenting their acclaimed Shostakovich symphony cycle.

    This exceptional anthology also contains brand-new recordings of Shostakovich’s complete piano, violin and cello concertos, featuring soloists Yuja Wang, Baiba Skride, and Yo-Yo Ma and his opera Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk District, starring Kristine Opolais, Brenden Gunnell, Peter Hoare, and Günther Groissböck.
