2018 Grammy Winner - 20% Off - Album of the Week!
Our Album of the Week is Shostakovich Symphony No. 5 & Barber Adagio for Strings performed by the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra conducted by Manfred Honeck. This Stereo and Surround Sound DSD 256, DSD 128, DSD 64 and DXD release from Reference Recordings won 2 Grammy Awards this year for Best Orchestral Performance, Classical and Best Engineered Album, Classical.
What better way to celebrate these award-winning performances than with a 20% Off Sale? Just use offer code AOTW through Friday, November 16, 2018, and an outstanding DSD Classical recording is yours. And there is only one place that you will find the DSD editions of this album - at the NativeDSD Music store.
Reference Recordings says "In his fascinating and scholarly music notes, Maestro Honeck gives us great insight into the history of both pieces and describes how he conducts and interprets each. He reminds us that Joseph Stalin’s Soviet government was offended by Shostakovich’s previous works. Under threat of arrest or banishment to Siberia, Shostakovich devised a new, less-complex compositional style for the 5th Symphony, still full of irony and double meaning, to appease Stalin and appeal to the common people."
NativeDSD Reviewers John Huxhold and Eric Meyer tell us "Manfred Honeck is making a name for himself and his Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra for his carefully considered and nuanced approach to the music of Richard Strauss and, in this case, the Shostakovich 5th. The high, quiet strings in the first movement float serenely above a low bass. The second movement is slower and more deliberate than in other recordings and is not as playful (a grim Soviet bear dancing clumsily?). And of course, there is that powerful finale. Nothing sounds rushed or ill-considered; it’s an interpretation that can stand proudly with the best.
All of this is rendered by producer Dirk Sobotka and engineer Mark Donahue from Soundmirror, Inc. in a high-resolution DSD download that recreates the acoustic of Pittsburgh’s Heinz Hall for the Performing Arts with a huge, rock-solid soundstage that is as deep as it is wide. Instruments do not appear from a flat wall of sound but project three-dimensionally from their proper place in the orchestra. The high frequencies sound particularly sweet and are a subtle improvement over the SACD. The dynamic range extends from near-inaudibility to blazing brass and floor-shaking fundamentals with not a hint of strain or congestion.
There are many valid approaches to this symphony, but Honeck’s interpretation is among the most insightful. And the recording is simply stunning, especially considering that it was done during a live performance. Even in the quietest parts, there is nary a cough or breath to be heard. Even if you have multiple versions of this symphony, be sure to give this one a listen."
