"Editor's Choice ... this terrific performance will leave you equally overwhelmed."
- Gramophone
"... a dazzling performance ... the recorded sound is superb and the orchestra are on top form throughout with transparent textures even in the most explosive moments. A must have performance to add to the other fine interpretations in this cycle."
- Audiophilia
"There are a lot of performances of this remarkable symphony but this one stands out as having a truly distinctive and persuasive point of view ... justifies purchasing yet another recording of what is becoming a relatively well known work ... extremely well recorded, naturally balanced and vividly present. Wonderful."

Vassily Petrenko flawlessly guides the Liverpool Philharmonic through every twist, turn and climax in Shostakovich’s remarkable Symphony No. 4 on this critically acclaimed album, recorded in 2013. The composer’s characteristic pathos and intensity pervade the piece, drawing the listener into an inner world of Soviet-era turmoil. Audiophilia included this album on its list of the 15 Star Recordings of the year.
