A monumental symphony, a roar of the Russian spirit.

The passion of the great Rostropovich breathes warmth into the cold, detached score.

This recording by the Washington National Symphony Orchestra features Shostakovich's Symphony No. 5, along with works by Prokofiev. Rostropovich, who was close friends with the composer, portrays this piece, which symbolizes the suffering and hope under a dictatorial regime, with overwhelming scale. The meticulous ensemble work in each section and the explosive finale powerfully convey the power of resistance and redemption inherent in music.
