Rpo:Grzegorz Nowak - Shostakovich: Symphony No. 5

Two of Shostakovich's most famous and most contrasting works are included here: Symphony No.5 is dark, and full of the drama of the Soviet age, whereas the Festive Overture is an irrepressibly breezy contrast.The wonderful Royal Philharmonic Orchestra is conducted here by their Principal Associate Conductor Grzegorz Nowak.Recorded in the RPO's London home, Cadogan Hall.
