Alexander Lazarev. Japan Philharmonic Orchestra - Symphony No.8 : Lazarev / Japan Philharmonic - Japan CD

Description:

The world of Shostakovich vividly portrayed. The Shostakovich series by Lazarev and the Japan Philharmonic Orchestra has been receiving high acclaim in various magazines. The CDs of No. 4 and No. 11 "1905" have been well received as well. This time, it is a recording of the live performance in June 2015. The sound of the brass instruments, the delicate tones of the woodwinds, and the profound resonance of the strings make for a superb ensemble performance. The soloists of each instrument add color and character to the performance. Lazarev's baton leads the way in a vivid Shostakovich, showing that their longstanding relationship of trust has borne fruit here. Please enjoy the Russian sound of this Japanese orchestra. Recorded June 12 and 13, 2015 at Suntory Hall, Tokyo
