Shostakovich, Dmitri (1906-1975)

Description:

The great conductor Rozhestvensky gave a superb performance with the Yomiuri Symphony Orchestra in his last years! The legendary live performances by Rozhestvensky and the Yomiuri Symphony Orchestra, including Schalk's version of Bruckner No. 5, are now available on CD! The recordings are excellent and convey the charm of the performances. This is the treasured sword of the family, a masterpiece that looks into the depths of Shostakovich. The sound is reminiscent of the great performances of the Soviet era, but at the same time, it is a performance that gives the listener a sense of the state of affairs in his later years. The silence of the first movement is captivating. By avoiding excessive coloration, Rozhestvensky depicts a world dominated by an inexpressible loneliness. When the melody begins to move and the music takes a violent turn, you will be surprised by the huge performance, but at the same time, you will notice that the sound is clear and clear, and the phrases and rhythms of each melody are vividly conveyed.This is what makes Rozhestvensky's performance so interesting, and it can be said that Shostakovich's music, which encompasses a variety of meanings, has been refined from all angles. Overall, the tempo is slow, and the second movement is a massive performance. The seemingly bright and carefree finale is also carefully constructed, and while full of sparkling sounds, the conclusion, which seems to look into the depths of Shostakovich's music, is uniquely convincing and profound. The commentary includes a newly written manuscript by Kenjiro Sakairi. The text is full of love for Rozhestvensky, including his impressions of the performance from the conductor's point of view.
