3 out of 5 stars Rather faceless, flaccid readings of both works.......2007-06-24

This CD is now avilable as part of a bargain two-fer from EMI, but even then I'm not sure I would go for it. These two early works are among Shostakovich's most jaunty and sparkling. The piano concerto in particular exhibits not the slightest shadow. The First Sym. has more light and shade but still comes off best when its high spirits aren't tinted too gray. Frankly, I find nothing at all lively in Jansons conducting of either work. Despite the fabled Berlin Phil, orchestral playing is routine, and Rudy makes very little of the solo paino part (Jansons made a dullish Rachmaninov concerto cycle with him, also on EMI). Good sound throughout, and nothing less than impeccable exeuction.

In all, not a shining moment in Jansons long traversal of the complete Shostakovich symphonies.
