Klaus M�kel� / Oslo Philharmonic - "Shostakovich: Symphonies 4, 5 & 6" - Verve Label Group; Decca; Classical - "Whatever they are giving to those string players in Oslo, they should try and make it more widely available, because orchestras all over the world would kill for a string sound like the Oslo Philharmonic managed in this performance of Shostakovich's Symphony No.5. It was both the foundation stone and the life blood of perhaps the finest performance of this piece I have heard." - Seen and Heard International
