Composer:
Dmitri Shostakovich

Conductor:
Mstislav Rostropovich

Background: When Mstislav Rostropovich conducts Shostakovich's music the results are never less than sensational. However his performances of the Symphony No.11 in London and New York with the LSO in 2002 left audiences and critics astounded.

Subtitled '1905' the often neglected symphony takes a cinematic approach to recounting the 1905 revolution and the massacre of the peaceful protestors but the intensity of Rostropovich's interpretation and his personal insight bring to life Shostakovich's real intentions reflecting more contemporary events and the brutality of the Soviet regime.

Recorded in scintillating detail using high density technology few symphonies offer such an extraordinary dynamic range and emotional experience. The tension is heightened even further by the energy of the live performances producing what promises to be one of 2002's most astonishing recordings.
