Shostakovich: Symphony No. 11 'The Year 1905'

Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra; Wigglesworth

Described in the BBC Music Magazine as 'the finest Shostakovich interpreter of his generation' Mark Wigglesworth began his cycle of Shostakovich's symphonies with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, continuing since 2005 on the other side of the English Channel with the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra. Previous volumes have all been warmly recieved; the cycle as a whole has been described as having 'the particular characteristics of high seriousness, fine detailing and a certain fierceness of articulation' (Gramophone). In this installment, Wigglesworth and the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra perform the composer's Symphony No. 11 'The Year 1905', commissoned by the Soviet authorities in order to commemorate the events on the so-called Bloody Sunday, in January 1905.

Press Reviews

Collectors Reviews

Certainly Wigglesworth's account can rank with the finest available...The sound is on a par with earlier instalments in this series...whether St Petersburg in 1905 or Budapest in 1956 makes no difference when the performance is its own justification.

International Record Review

"Wigglesworth's musical judgement is impeccable, the results invariably illuminating...if you want a deeply satisfying performance of this symphony - and an unrivalled recording - then Wigglesworth's the one for you."

MusicWeb International

"[Wigglesworth] gets playing of great refinement from the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic, setting the scene in the opening movement The Palace Square perfectly, but can also conjure up raw brutality in the final movement with tingling vividness when required. Sometimes dismissed as little better than film music, the 11th has rarely seemed so cogent."
