"... the music simply feels more musical this way."
- Gramophone
"This is a very worthwhile disc; it has everything ... Ashkenazy and this Finnish band make a terrific team; more, please."
- MusicWeb International
"... these are excellent performances ... Shenyang is a very impressive soloist, comfortable with the language ... the choir sings with clarity and bite and the orchestra plays powerfully ... the engineering is well-balanced and natural ... a valuable addition to the Shostakovich discography."
- ClassicsToday.com
Vladimir Ashkenazy conducts the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra on two dramatic works by Dmitri Shostakovich: The Execution of Stepan Razin and the Zoya Suite, coupled with the Suite on Finnish Themes. Award-winning bass-baritone Shenyang stars on The Execution of Stepan Razin, which captures rich intonations and melodies of the text as the bass soloist and the chorus engage in a multilayered dialogue of this very theatrical work.
