Mariss Jansons considers Dmitri Shostakovich to be one of the most
serious and sincere composers ever, and finds the fifteen symphonies in
particular to be deeply moving and captivating. He sees their music as
bearing shattering testimony to a traumatic era of political darkness,
while remaining a timeless expression of existential human feeling and
experience. Over a period of seventeen years, Mariss Jansons has
recorded all the Shostakovich symphonies, on each occasion together with
the orchestra he was artistically associated with at the time. Six of
the performances were with the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen
Rundfunks. In 2006 the cycle was completed in time for the centenary of
the composer's birth. The performance of the Thirteenth Symphony was
awarded a Grammy in the 'Best Orchestral Performance' category.
