Description:

A monumental achievement alongside the complete Mahler cycle! Starting with Mahler, who made Inbal's name known all over the world, to Ravel and Berlioz, Inbal's approach of revealing the whole picture by intensively recording and presenting the works of a composer in a short period of time, and his ability to make it happen, have culminated in this complete Shostakovich cycle with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra. The complete Shostakovich cycle with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra is a further achievement. By taking a bird's-eye view of all 15 pieces, one can get a deeper appreciation of the artist's anguish under the totalitarian regime, and of Shostakovich's heart, which entrusted future generations with an understanding of the essence of his works.
