Hi Res Mariss Jansons Shostakovich Symphony No 10

Mariss Jansons ranks among the outstanding podium personalities of our time. His orchestral work is recognized not only because of his busy touring activities but also because of television and radio broadcasts world-wide, also documented by a sizable number of recordings.

"Increasingly, Shostakovich's music is captivating people all over the world and appealing to their deepest emotions. Almost like no other, it bears witness to a traumatic political epoch while remaining a timeless expression of existential human feeling and experience. For me personally", said conductor Mariss Jansons, who died two years ago, "Shostakovich is one of the most serious and sincere composers of them all".

Mariss Jansons died last November. During the final 15 years of his life he was the chief conductor of two of the world’s greatest orchestras, the Royal Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, and the Bavarian Radio Symphony, based in Munich.
