Petrenko would like us to think so. Throughout the performance he looks for pockets of expressive intimacy quite as much as sheer excitement, although he is also capable of eruptive urgency." (Gramophone) |

Shostakovich: Symphonies, Vol 9: Symphony No. 4 in C minor, Op. 43 Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, Vasily Petrenko [ Naxos / CD - released 1/Nov/2013 ] "the Liverpool players get around the enormous technical challenges with great verve, and the self-destructive climaxes are never shirked.
