Jaap van Zweden (Dir) // These two Symphonies represent powerful statements by composers undergoing the greatest of crises in their eventful lives. Mahler's last and incomplete symphony was kept a secret by his widow Alma for many years after his death. Shostakovich's intense and deeply symbolic symphony, considered by many to be his finest, was kept hidden by the composer for fear of Soviet reprisals, and was only performed after Stalin's death in 1953.
