Description
For his new thirteenth symphony Shostakovich chose to set some texts by the young poet Evgeny Yevtushenko to music. The first of Yevtushenko’s poems that he used and which furnishes the subtitle of the symphony is dedicated to Babi Yar, the place where the Nazis slaughtered 34.000 Ukrainian Jews in September 1941.
As a result of its critical content the selection of the cast for the debut performances dragged on to ridiculous lengths through a cascade of refusals. Eight month later the symphony was finally performed and the audience’s reaction was very positive. Even the western world, which shortly before had condemned the propaganda excesses of the Twelfth Symphony, praised the bold stance that the musician had taken against power.
The conductor Oleg Catani, supported by the Choir and Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano Giuseppe Verdi, again deals with this censorious problem skilfully. He is further assisted by the bass soloist Pavel Kudinov who manages to interpret the poems with his beautiful voice powerfully.
ARTS presents a particularly well performed masterwork released on a DSD 5+1 multichannel surround sound Hybrid SACD. An outstanding and spectacular sound happening!

Part of the Box-Set 47850-8:
"Caetani zeigt sich als Meister, Gegensätzliches herauszuarbeiten. Derselbe Takt klingt bei ihm zugleich düster und fröhlich. Er dirigiert sehr differenziert, für jeden Takt, ja für jede Note findet er einen eigenen Ausdruck. Ihm gelingen vielfältige hierarchische Spannungsbögen, weite, die über eine ganze Sinfonie reichen, stehen über kleineren, einen Satz oder noch kürzere Einheiten lang. Das Orchester ist sehr gut durchgehört und ausbalanciert, keine Stimme geht unter und hat ihre Bedeutung"
"Oleg Caetani manages to draw dramatic pictographic interpretations. Caetani is a maestro when in comes to compile opposed characters"

"the stark beauty of Caetani's live recording adds that extra tension.... Wonderfully recorded all around"
