Shostakovich's Symphony No. 7 has always had an irresistible appeal, written as it was against the backdrop of World War II. This outstanding work displays its true dimensions on this recording thanks to the sophisticated and polished conductor Paavo Järvi leading the Russian National Orchestra, as he elevates the composition to an even higher level.
“Even before the war, hardly a family could be found in Leningrad that had not suffered a loss ... everyone had someone to mourn. But you had to cry softly, under your blanket. You could not let anyone see you: everyone was afraid of everyone else. We were crushed, suffocated by grief. It choked us all, including me. I had to turn it into music, I felt it was my duty and obligation. I had to write a requiem for all those who had died, for all those who had been tortured."
- Dmitri Shostakovich
