Gramophone Magazine - Editor's Choice - July 2006

From the Netherlands-based outcrop of the old Philips label comes an exceptional coupling of the masterly, youthful F minor symphony…and the comparatively neglected No. 6. Jurowski brings an awesome majesty to the powerful, Mahlerian funeral march of the sixth…and his RNO is simply dazzling in the high jinks of the scherzo passages in both works…this shouldn't be missed." Hugh Canning, Sunday Times

"Vladimir Jurowski is… surely the most rounded Shostakovich interpreter to have emerged for many years, holding the balance between brooding song and headlong dance in perfect equilibrium." BBC Music Magazine, July 2006 ****
