Description
Shostakovich's Eighth Symphony is a dramatic, sorrowful voyage through the tragedy of war. The reference is to the Second World War and becomes a memento of the destruction and death that war has inevitably created in all times.
Critics now compare his Eighth Symphony with Beethoven's Fifth, Bruckner's Eighth and Mahlers's Second, symphonies that depict mankind in decisive moments of truth, pain and death.
ARTS presents this work that attracted critical interest in the past as an exclusive Hybrid SACD in October 2005. This production is disk number six in row of the big ARTS SHOSTKOVICH CYCLE.

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"

Fanfare (02.02.2007)
"This is an important recording because it is a good sounding presentation of a performance tradition that is entirely valid but rarely heard nowadays"
American Record Guide (09.11.2006)
"This is a gritty, powerful, expressive performance"
classicstoday.com (09.11.2006)
9/10: "Caetani proves triumphantly that it's possible to project all of the Eight Symphony's drama and emotional power without making the listening experience an ordeal all by itself...It's a breath of fresh air"
TUROK'S CHOICE (09.11.2006)
"Shostakovich's Eighth Symphony is very beautiful in the hands of Oleg Caetani and Milan's Verdi Symphony..... marvelously intense musical flow.."
