The core of which - Symphonies Nos. 5-10 - is scheduled for recording and release over the next two years.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eAndris Nelsons has had a long journey with Shostakovich. He is one of the last conductors of his generation who still grew up in the Russian and, more especially, the Soviet musical tradition ever since he started his training as a conductor.  He studied in St Petersburg with Alexander Titov and also with Mariss Jansons. His new orchestra has had a great tradition in performing many of Shostakovich\\u2019s works in America for the first time.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eThe theme of the first album with Shostakovich\\xb4s 10th Symphony and Passacaglia from Lady Macbeth is a reflection on Shostakovich and Stalin. Lady Macbeth was the piece which brought criticism of his work and the radical change of style, whereas Symphony 10 is from the year Stalin died: the long arc of censorship of Shostakovich until Stalin's death, and the composer's response to this.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.
