Petrenko's Shostakovich Symphony Cycle continues with two works from the opposite ends of the great Russian composer's life and career. Petrenko guides the Liverpool Philharmonic through the organized musial chaos of the 2nd Symphony to the final 15th with its imaginitive passacaglia .

Jarvi) LPO: LPO-0062 Neeme Jarvi marshalls the full forces of the London Philharmonic Choir and Orchestra together with strong soloists including the superlative soprano Janice Watson, bass Peter Rose and tenor Peter Auty. Jaarvi has an affinity for Dvorak, and this recording complements his acclaimed recording of the Requiem from 2009.

	Tchaikovsky, P.I.: Piano Trio in A minor, Op. 50 (Swiss Piano Trio) Audite: Audite92.673 The Swiss Piano Trio give a sensitive, engrossing performance of Tchaikovsky's monumental Trio Op. 50. Tchaikovsky dedicated this piece to Nikolai Rubinstein, whose death was a great blow to the composer.

	Pergolesi, G.B.: Stabat Mater (excerpts) / Laudate pueri (Hofstetter) Oehms Classics: OC831 Pergolesi's Stabat Mater is here performed with two young singers performing the vocal lines originally sung by Castrati.
