Could this be Shostakovich’s greatest symphony? It was certainly one of his more immediately successful. Further West, where many big-name maestros were still avoiding Soviet repertoire, it was bold of the young Andrew Davis to engage with this music in typically forthright fashion (Classics for Pleasure, 5/75 – nla). Whether achieved by the meticulous marking-up of score and parts or a balder literalism, a note of high seriousness was struck by Paavo Berglund and Bernard Haitink. Haitink and the London Philharmonic Orchestra perfect their broad-spectrum interpretation in the larger-than-life acoustic of London’s Royal Albert Hall. ALTERNATIVE AUTHENTICITY. Berlin SO, Sanderling.

Shostakovich’s monumental Symphony No. 10 ranks among his finest works. From the bleak introspection of the extended opening movement, through the graphic evocation of violence in the explosive Allegro, and the eerie dance-like Allegretto. Subgenre: Orchestral.
