Santtu conducts Shostakovich (cd) : Moscow, Cheryomushki and Symphony no. 1

Philharmonia Orchestra, Santtu-Matias Rouvali

Shostakovich: Suite from Moscow, Cheryomushki, Op. 105 (Arr. for Orchestra by Andrew Cornall)
Shostakovich: Symphony No. 1 in F minor, Op. 10

Santtu conducts Shostakovich: Moscow Cheryomushki and Symphony No. 1 is the seventh album from Philharmonia Records. Led by Santtu-Matias Rouvali, these performances were recorded live at the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall, where they are resident. The Philharmonia Orchestra has an extensive legacy of recording the music of Shostakovich, and in this latest release its Principal Conductor brings his own distinctive energy, precision, and flair to two contrasting masterpieces: the sharp-witted exuberance of Moscow Cheryomushki and the youthful brilliance of the First Symphony.
