It was once famously said that it is impossible to create great art out of a steelworks and yet this is precisely what Shostakovich does in his 3rd symphony. OK the last choral movement is a bit over the top but if you can"t enjoy this, the "worst" of DSCH's symphonies, you're not a real classical fan.I've come a bit late to DSCH's music. When I was young, I was taught to despise DSCH as a Soviet apparatchik. I never really took his music seriously until last year. I then heard a recording by (of all people) Herbert von Karajan of DSCH's 10th symphony and was immediately overwhelmed. Here was a composer who not only wrote for his time but also for history. He is also one of the few artists who, literally, faced death for his music. Read the story of his 4th Symphony. His so-called "war symphonies"(6-8) offer a catalog of some of the worst experiences in human history transformed into high art. 5 is a special case, listen and decide.I was delighted to find that there was a set of the complete recorded symphonies of DSCH ( listen to the works and read the notes and you will understand the acronym) made by Bernard Haitink and the Amsterdam Concertgebouw and London Symphony Orchestras. Although some commentators say there are better performances of individual symphonies ( please read my review of Karajan's 10th), I think that Haitink has a very profound understanding of DSCH's psyche and a deep sympathy for where he is coming from. There can be no better set.I would love to go on and give my views on some of the later, post-war symphonies, which are fascinating, complex and to some extent unreadable, but this is not the appropriate medium. Suffice it to say that this is more than worth the $80 or so that it costs. It is worth a lifetime of listening. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Missing two works from the previous releases. *by B***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2019* This is a compilation of the Haitink cycle released individually by London in the 1980s. TWO OMISSIONS: The "Overture on Russian and Kirghiz Folk Themes" that was included with the Symphony 6 & 11 release from 1985 and The Age of Gold suite that was included on the Symphony 2 & 3 release from the 1987 CD. If you're looking for renditions of those pieces, you won't get them with this set.This is my favorite cycle of the DSCH symphonies. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Approaching A Master! *by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2015* The only qualification that I possess to allow me to review this collection is my love of classical music. And even that seems to me almost presumptuous in commenting upon the compositions of Dimitri Shostakovich. The variety of his compositional abilities and his mastery of symphonic orchestration is amazing. And when you realize the living conditions under which he was toiling during his years of work his accomplishments become monumental. Furthermore he chose never to leave his native Russia, unlike many of his contemporaries who decided that their artistic imaginations could not function under whichever Russian government was in power at a particular time. For anyone to even attempt to understand the work of Shostakovich, this collection or one like it is necessary for such contemplation. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/12362568-shostakovich-the-complete-symphonies](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/12362568-shostakovich-the-complete-symphonies) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
