Andre Previn / London Symphony Orchestra - Shostakovich: Symphony No.8 - Japan CD

Description:

[Classical Masters No. 9] A collection of definitive and long-selling recordings from Warner Classics (formerly EMI Classics). The analog recordings are the latest remastered recordings from analog masters at Abbey Road Studios and other overseas studios. The front cover uses the original overseas cover design. Commentary included. Previn's goal here was to express the interesting resonance of the work. The minute changes in coloration and lightness and darkness of the tiny fragments of sound are exquisite and highly enjoyable to listen to. The fourth movement in particular was a masterful performance. The overwhelming 5th movement is also worth listening to.
