Description:

Noseda & LSO Vol. 3! Shostakovich's great work, Symphony No. 4! Noseda & LSO's 3rd release. Shostakovich considered the Fourth Symphony to be his masterpiece. The work was first performed in 1936 for the anniversary of the Revolution, but was cancelled for political reasons. After that, it was sealed off, but finally saw the light of day in 1961. At that time, it was acclaimed as one of the composer's unmistakable masterpieces, and it once again showed the world Shostakovich's formidable power as a symphonic composer. The percussion and brass sections of the London Symphony Orchestra were also outstanding in this performance, and Noseda, who is also active as an opera conductor, demonstrated a rare balance of knowledge and passion in his command of this work. This large-scale work resonates with tremendous power. King International
