It’s a fleet, unlingering interpretation and Shostakovich’s pianism is consistently elevated; there are few better examples of it on record. The ten Preludes he recorded from the Op. 24 set show that on balance he favoured challenging tempi.

Mstislav Rostropovich vc Philadelphia Ordchestra / Eugene Ormandy Sony A Rostropovich signature work, this recording with Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia finds him on blistering form.
Daniel Müller-Schott vc Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra / Yakov Kreizberg Orfeo With roughly a dozen single-disc couplings of the two Shostakovich cello concertos available on CD, a new one needs a sharp profile in order to gain visibility. Müller-Schott and his supporting team have most of the obvious credentials: technique and temperament in ab...
Lise de la Salle pf Gabor Baldocki tpt Lisbon Gulbenkian Foundation Orchestra / Lawrence Foster Naive Recording of the Month – April 2008 Lise de la Salle's performances are of the highest quality, her rushes of adrenalin balanced by her precise calibration and control. Even with front-runners such as Argerich and Hamelin in the Shostakovich she ho...
Alina Ibragimova vn State Academic Symphony Orchestra of Russia 'Evgeny Svetlanov' / Vladimir Jurowski Hyperion GramophoneAward Winner 2021 – Concerto Editor's Choice – July 2020 Ibragimova’s playing has an unvarnished truth about it. It’s the kind of playing that looks you unblinkingly in the eye and tells it like it is. She’s not afraid to ‘invad...
Lydia Mordkovitch vn Scottish National Orchestra / Neeme Järvi Chandos This coupling completely explodes the idea of the Second Violin Concerto being a disappointment after the dramatic originality of No 1. Certainly No 2, completed in 1967, a year after the very comparable Cello Concerto No 2, has never won the allegiance of violin virtuosos as th...
Lisa Batiashvili vn Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra / Esa-Pekka Salonen DG The new-found popularity of Shostakovich’s greatest concerto has engendered a flood of state‑of-the-art recordings but few if any are finer than this one. Lisa Batiashvili’s reflective, almost weightless approach in the opening Nocturne is rendered more distinctive by the ...
Russian National Orchestra / Vladimir Jurowski Pentatone The Russian National Orchestra’s relatively lean, frosty sonority, only partly a product of divided violins, is presented with outstanding fidelity in a spacious acoustic. While both performances are excellent, the Sixth receives the more remarkable interpretation. The second movement is a fi...
Mariinsky Chorus and Orchestra / Valery Gergiev Mariinsky The Eleventh (1957) is Shostakovich at his most conservative and cinematic, the deployment of revolutionary songs embedding emotional memories superficially in line with the regime’s subsequently expounded ideology of socialist realism in cultural production. Favouring quick‑fire tempi, occa...
Mariinsky Chorus and Orchestra / Valery Gergiev Mariinsky However many performances or recordings of its great first movement you have heard, you will be lucky to encounter one as compelling as this. Gergiev takes fractionally faster tempi than the norm, allowing for subtle expressive retardations that do not disturb the flow, and making the most o...
Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra / Vasily Petrenko Naxos GramophoneAwards Shortlisted 2014 – Orchestral Recording of the Month – November 2013 The opening goes off like a cartoon alarm clock, shrill and insistent, the ensuing march more satirical, almost more Prokofiev than Shostakovich in Vasily Petrenko’s hands. This is less the child of Ma...
