Description:

The Japan Philharmonic Orchestra and its laureate conductor, Alexander Lazarev, have been pursuing the "spirit of Russia" since his appointment as chief conductor in 2008. In 2021, Lazarev and the Japan Philharmonic, who have been pursuing the "spirit of Russia" since their appointment as chief conductors in 2008, finally tackled Shostakovich's masterpiece "Symphony No. 10". Maestro Lazarev, who knows Shostakovich inside and out, has depicted the abyssal symphony, which is "a mystery calling for a mystery," without hesitation, in a masterful performance that was truly meant to happen. The "human emotion and passion" that Shostakovich wanted to portray is brought back to life by the clear roar of Lazarev and the Japan Philharmonic, just as it was in the heat of the live performance. This is a masterful performance of the definitive "No. 10" that makes no sense of the limitations of the Corona disaster.
