"Exquisite Groundbreaking Performances" (review from amazon.com)
Finally we have a recorded performance of Shostakovich's competent and extremely credible First symphony! I've always known that this composition had so much going for it but every other orchestra/ conductor and label/production failed to pull off an inspired performance. Recorded live in 3/2004 Oleg Caetani and the Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano Giuseppe Verdi give us a recorded performance with swirling woodwinds and string solos that will give you chills.
The composers 15th symphony recorded in the same venue in 6/2005 receives yet again an exquisite performance with a consistent precise tempo and solos.
Recorded orchestral balance is superb with both symphonies. To this date I have never heard these two symphonies with such grandeur!
