Reviews

Symphonic Music category – Nominee

International Classical Music Awards 2022

“… Everything is so sparkling about this live performance from February 2020, not shadowed by COVID crisis gestating everywhere, that it serves as a kind of antidote…”

Huntley Dent – Fanfare – July/August 2021

“… There are many great recordings of the Tenth Symphony, including those of Ormandy, Barshai, Petrenko, and Haitink. This performance can stand with these fine accounts … this new performance by Noseda and the LSO is a prime contender for the best choice, not least because it also has splendid sound reproduction and 79 minutes' worth of fine Shostakovich.”

Robert Cummings – MusicWeb-International.com – 29 March 2021

“… Both symphonies are successful, the Ninth conspicuously so even in a crowded field.”

David Gutman – Gramophone magazine – April 2021

Performance **** Recording ****

“This latest instalment in Gianandrea Noseda’s Shostakovich cycle with the London Symphony Orchestra (LSO) is an extremely impressive achievement...”

“Simply stunning - Noseda is a superb Shostakovich conductor, and the music is delivered thrillingly by orchestra and recording.”

Gwyn Parry-Jones – MusicWeb-International.com – 5 March 2021

“… now thanks to the London Symphony Orchestra under Gianandrea Noseda, we have a newly developing set that more than matches the Kitajenko set in terms of fiery, dramatic performances and wide-ranging impactful sound. This latest instalment is one of the best, with a pointed Ninth … and a weighty, tautly sustained Tenth …”

Barry Forshaw – cdchoice.co.uk – 29 January 2021

“Noseda’s cycle of Shostakovich symphonies is shaping up well… he tackles the contrasting Ninth and Tenth, the earlier work impish — even flippant — in tone despite darker broodings in the slow movement, and the later work a towering masterpiece with its alleged “portrait” of Stalin in the Scherzo, played with terrifying incisiveness by the LSO.”

Hugh Canning – The Sunday Times – 31 January 2021
