Presto Recording of the Week
6th July 2018

Boston Symphony Orchestra, Andris Nelsons

Shostakovich: Symphony No. 4 in C minor, Op. 43
Shostakovich: Symphony No. 11 in G minor, Op. 103 'The year 1905'

"This Nelsons cycle started with a bang – namely the most electrifying recording of the Tenth Symphony we’ve had in almost half a century. The excellence continues...Nelsons rejoices in the skewed logic and dotty tangents but does so with a gripping hold on the symphonic argument – tentative though that sometimes is. The impetus and tautness of his account intensify cohesion.And it is fabulously engineered" - Gramophone Magazine September 2018
