Awards and reviews

November 2006

…this beautifully recorded set… carries Maxim Shostakovich's enthusiastic imprimatur… Scrupulous adoption of Shostakovich's metronome marks has a particularly profound impact on many slow movements such as the second Largo of the Eighth and the Largo of the Third, neither of which sounds quite as heavy and doom-laden as before. ...it's not hard to concur with Maxim that the performances of the Second, Sixth, 11th and 13th are exceptionally satisfying and match the best in the current catalogue.
