Shostakovich: Symphony No. 4 (BBC Philharmonic, John Storgårds)

Shostakovich: Symphony No. 13; Arvo Part: de Profundis
Albert Dohmen (bass-baritone), Estonian National Male Choir, BBC Philharmonic, John Storgårds
'Storgårds has shown his affinity for the composer in every disc of this complete series of the
Shostakovich symphonies (still in progress). Here, he does not strive after extremes or try out
any special effects: the slow music does not drag and the climaxes are not harrowingly
expressionistic.'
