The centre of gravity of the finale and of this whole performance is clearly the intensely expressive paragraph which follows the towering statement of Shostakovich’s D-S-C-H monogram; Maxim’s earlier restraint has saved a great emotional burden for this moment, and it is deeply moving. … Maxim Shostakovich should be compared with Haitink for noble sobriety”—Gramophone

Alto returns this outstanding recording of Shostakovich’s Tenth Symphony to international availability in this value-priced edition.
