Berliner Philharmoniker - Symphonies Nos. 8-10 - BLU-RAY

Kirill Petrenko describes Dmitri Shostakovich's Eighth Symphony as an Inchincredible psychological dramaInch. The composer wrote it while his life was in danger during the Second World War between a perilous existence and Stalinist censorship. The Ninth and Tenth also bear vivid witness to Shostakovich's confrontation with the regime - and his self-assertion. Berliner Philharmoniker Recordings now releases the recordings of Symphonies 8-10 as the orchestra's second major hardcover edition with chief conductor Kirill Petrenko.
