About
“Mravinsky's live recording of the Eighth of capital importance and demands to be heard: the Leningrad audience is struck dumb by it.” – Gramophone (no.8)
“deeply moving. ....Maxim Shostakovich should be compared with Haitink for noble sobriety” – Gramophone (no.10)
“A superb performance with excellent sound makes this a benchmark recording and my top CD choice of the year. Shostakovich fans ignore this release at their peril!” – MusicWeb (no.11)
“So it’s significant this is once again made available, especially in such a memorably intense performance.” – Gramophone (no.13)
“a superbly vivid Fifteenth, generally hard-driven à la Mravinsky but here far more convincingly poised” – Gramophone (no.15)
