The RNO/PentaTone Shostakovich Cycle
The Russian National Orchestra is recording the complete cycle of Dmitry Shostakovich's symphonies for PentaTone Classics, featuring the RNO’s principal and guest conductors.
"This RNO focused series from Pentatone is fast turning into the most exciting cycle of the Shostakovich symphonies to be put down on disc and is easily the best recorded."
"This cycle with PentaTone and the Russian National Orchestra is promising to become a truly magnificent set."
"The interpretive and sound quality are very high."
"Mikhail Pletnev delivers a strongly compelling and often illuminating interpretation of Shostakovich's final symphony... each instrumental strand in this very linear composition [is] projected with amazing clarity...."
