This recording is a rarity and belonged to Silvestri, only discovered after his death. The live performance from 1961 of Shostakovich Symphony No.8 is a new addition to Silvestri's discography, as is Kabalevsky's Colas Breugnon Overture. The recording captures Silvestri's electrifying performance of Shostakovich's greatest symphony. During his early years in Moscow, Silvestri conducted Shostakovich and was praised by the composer. Silvestri's only other Shostakovich recording was Symphony No.5 with the Vienna Philharmonic in 1960 Album Tracks 1. Colas Breugnon Op. 24 Overture 2. Symphony No. 8 in C minor Op. 65
