Description:

Roaring music! Music that pushes forward! Michiyoshi Inoue's brilliance captures the essence of Shostakovich! The latest Shostakovich album by Michiyoshi Inoue, one of Japan's leading conductors and a highly acclaimed Shostakovich performer in recent years, features Symphony No. 7, which was performed by the Osaka Philharmonic Orchestra in their subscription concert in November 2015 and, like Symphony No. 4, received a thunderous ovation for its overwhelming power and musical depth. Inoue calls this symphony a "hymn to humanity. It is one of Shostakovich's masterpieces, in which human weakness, sadness, anger, and passion are all mixed up and expressed as magma-like energy. The orchestra, led by Inoue, expresses all of these elements without reserve. Michiyoshi Inoue's power, stimulating sound, and dramatic musicality are the sole domain of the orchestra. Please listen to the second installment of the Shostakovich series featuring Inoue and the Osaka Philharmonic Orchestra. Octavia Records
