About this product
Alto returns Sir Colin Davis and the London Symphony Orchestra's critically acclaimed recordings of Jean Sibelius' Symphonies Nos 2 & 5 to international availability. Hailed as Gramophone Magazine and Classic FM discs of the month upon initial , Sir Colin Davis is a strong advocate for the music of Jean Sibelius. Davis was once quoted as saying, Inchconducting Sibelius is like looking at oneself in the mirror. I look in the mirror and see the pitilessness of life, yet I find the strength to go on. Sibelius was happy when he was in company, depressed when he was alone. I am the same'. Each of Sibelius's seven numbered symphonies possesses a quite different character, a fact that has led his followers to assert that he is the finest symphonist since Beethoven. These two renditions have been brought back to life in these newly remastered editions from Paul Arden-Taylor. InchDavis reminds us now just how great he is in Sibelius with a marvellous new recording of the Second... The strength of this performance, where a patient (and more involving) build-up leads to a shattering finale. Davis loves Sibelius, and the orchestra clearly love playing it for him. Listening to a Sibelius performance of this calibre, there's no other composer one would rather hear.Inch -Gramophone, Album of the Month (Symphony No. 2) Album of the Month, Classic FM (Symphony No. 5) Album Tracks 1.

![London Symphony Orchestra / Noseda,Gianandrea - Shostakovich: Symphonies Nos.5 & 1 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/db4b2aa2-2838-4b13-97d8-7e332b55bc4e.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Gianandrea Noseda and the London Symphony Orchestra continue their acclaimed Shostakovich symphony cycle. Few pieces of classical music have been the subject of so much debate and discussion as the Fifth Symphony of Dmitri Shostakovich. Following the 'justified criticism' of his opera Lady MacBeth of Mtsensk the Fifth marked a turning point in his career, after which he balanced an even more precarious position as an artist under Stalin's brutal regime. Just 18 years old at the time of it's completion, Shostakovich's First Symphony propelled him into the international spotlight. Breathtakingly unpredictable, the piece charts a course through soundscapes of blazing passion, melancholy introspection and caustic humor. Album Tracks 1. Shostakovich Symphony No. 5 in D minor, Op. 47 - I. Moderato - Allegro Non Troppo 2. Shostakovich Symphony No. 5 in D minor, Op. 47 - II. Allegretto 3.
