Shostakovich: Symphonies Nos. 2, 3, 12 & 13 size:OS 2 in B flat majorConcluding their Shostakovich Cycle, Andris Nelsons and the Boston Symphony Orchestra explore the composers shifting identity and political convictions under the Soviet regime, tracing with Symphonies Nos. 2, 3, 12 and 13 a 35 year span in the composers creative and personal evolution: from youthful idealism to mature disillusionment and resignation.
