In their inaugural release on Deutsche Grammophon, the Boston Symphony Orchestra and its Music Director Andris Nelsons are heard in live performances of Dmitri Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 10 and the Passacaglia from his opera “Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk.”
This album is the first in a series of five live-performance CDs entitled “Shostakovich Under Stalin’s Shadow,” to encompass the composer’s symphonies 5-10 and other works written in the period from the mid-1930s, when Shostakovich fell from Stalin’s favor, to 1953, the year of the dictator’s death. The goal of this new BSO/DG partnership is a complete Shostakovich cycle led by Andris Nelsons, one of today’s most exciting young conductors, and among the last of his generation to train under the Soviet musical tradition.
Symphonies 5, 8, and 9, plus Shostakovich’s incidental music to “Hamlet,” will be recorded during the BSO’s 2015-16 season and released in a two-CD set in 2016. In summer 2017, a second two-disc set will include Symphonies 6 and 7 and incidental music from the composer’s Suite from “King Lear.”

“… it’s clear this is the right match of conductor and repertoire … one has high hopes for a cycle that seems poised to become one of the key projects of Nelsons’ tenure.” –The Boston Globe

. . . [Shostakovich]: a searing reading of the Passacaglia, and a sepulchral account of the symphony . . . Nelsons made every measure count, punctuating the composer’s arc with extreme dynamic contrasts . . . [Shostakovich / Passacaglia]: I have never heard it used as a concert opener and it made a sensational one, with Nelsons and the enormous ensemble capturing the scene’s primal grimace . . . Nelsons and his crew offered a brilliantly detailed Mahler Sixth Symphony . . . [in the touching Andante, Nelsons] patiently gave the players space to reveal Mahler’s riches . . . Coupled with the hardworking orchestra, Nelsons indicated decisively that Boston’s magnificent instrument is embarking on a bold and tingling new era. –Bruce Hodges, Seen and Heard International
