Conductor:
Christoph Eschenbach

Background: This hybrid SACD in Ondine's successful series with The Philadelphia Orchestra, and its Music Director Christoph Eschenbach, features Shostakovich's popular Fifth Symphony. As a special bonus, this disc also contains the haunting song cycle Seven Romances on Poems of Alexander Blok, an unusual coupling.

Officially viewed as 'the practical creative reply of a Soviet artist to just criticism,' this symphony was the Russian composer's mid-career coup. After his music had been politically attacked, he got back into the good graces of both communist officials and the public, who stood and cheered its première in 1937.
