Book Reviews of Shostakovich Symphonies and Concertos - An Owner's Manual: Unlocking the Masters Series
Book Review: Making the music come alive
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an utterly absorbing book. Hurwitz deals with all of Shostakovich's major orchestoral works and leads you through the highs and lows of each opus. Sitting listening to a symphony and reading Hurwitz's considered yet exuberant account is a delight. It even comes with a CD of the 5th symphony.
