Andris Nelsons & Boston Symphony Orchestra - Dmitri Shostakovich: Symphony 2, 3, 12 & 13

In addition to the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, star Latvian conductor Andris Nelsons leads the Boston Symphony Orchestra, with whom he recorded the three-Grammy-winning Shostakovich cycle.

This recording features Symphonies 2, 3, 12 & 13, with strong support from the Tanglewood Festival Chorus and the New England Conservatory Philharmonic Choir. Bass-baritone Matthias Goerne

impresses with his interpretation of the "Babi Yar" solos in the 13th symphony.

We recommend the use of "L'Art du Son" CD/DVD conditioner for even more sonic improvement.
