The penultimate release of MDG's highly successful cycle of the symphonies of Shostakovich. In his Symphony No. 3 the twenty-three-year old composer paid homage to May First as an important symbol of the revolution; forty-two years later in his Symphony No.15 he seems to have wanted to recall the carefree years of his youth. As on the previous releases in this splendid series, Roman Kofman conducts the Beethoven Orchestra Bonn.
Symphony No. 3 in E flat major, Op. 20 'The First of May'
Symphony No. 15 in A major, Op. 141
