About this product
The late conductor, Kurt Masur, had a long relationship with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, dating back to 1987. This recording, made during his tenure as Principal Conductor (2000-2007), highlights the close relationship between Conductor and Orchestra. This adds to a growing collection of Shostakovich symphonies on the LPO tag. Previous recordings featuring Kurt Masur have been praised for their 'emphatic style' and 'serious class.' The most recent Shostakovich was described by BBC Music Magazine as Inchthe most stunning Shostakovich disc I have heard this year.Inch The 'Leningrad' Symphony is a true monument to one of the darkest times in recent history. It's famous 'Invasion' theme portrays a brooding sense of unease as an enemy approaches. It was written to bolster the people of the besieged city of Leningrad; it's Leningrad premiere in summer 1942 was broadcast through loudspeakers during the siege as an act of defiance. The London Philharmonic Orchestra gave the UK premiere of this Symphony (it's first performance outside Russia) in June 1942, after the score had been smuggled out of occupied Russia to the West on microfilm.

Conducting Bruckner, says Rattle, is a lifelong quest for some Inchextraordinary vista, some wonderful moment which leads you out of this worldInch. This certainly rings true for Bruckner's Seventh Symphony, the opening theme for which is said to have come to him in a dream, played by an angel. This huge, glowing mountain-range of sound is all at once majestic, reverent and terrifying. This edition of the symphony by Benjamin-Gunnar Cohrs was first performed by the London Symphony Orchestra and Sir Simon Rattle in September 2022, and the recording completes a set of three albums which also features Cohrs' editions of Bruckner's Fourth and Sixth symphonies. Making use of Bruckner's discarded fragments and lesser-known material through his many revisions, this set of albums is a must-listen for lovers of Bruckner's music, and gives us a glimpse into the composer's untold musical thoughts.
