Review Examples:

(5th):”However committed you are to any other interpretation, his demands to be heard.”(Gramophone);(6th/14th): BBC Music Magazine Disc of the Month Nov.2014

(8th): Mravinsky's live recording of the Eighth of capital importance and demands to be heard: the Leningrad audience is struck dumb by it.” (Gramophone)

(10th): deeply moving. ....Maxim Shostakovich should be compared with Haitink for noble sobriety” (Gramophone)

(11th): “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)

(13th): So it’s significant this is once again made available, especially in such a memorably intense performance.” (Gramophone)

(15th) “a superbly vivid Fifteenth, generally hard-driven a la Mravinsky but here far more convincingly poised” (Gramophone)
