Mariss Jansons's complete EMI recordings of Dmitri Shostakovich's symphonies, with various top-class orchestras (Oslo, Philadelphia, Bavarian Radio…) is one of the most ambitious and accomplished discographic projects related to the Russian composer. This album gathers the quintessence of these renditions, from the most beloved symphonies (Babi Yar, Leningrad…) to concertos featuring Mikhail Rudy and Truls Mørk, and of course the irresistible suites for jazz orchestra.
