Work: Symphony no. 6 in B minor, Op.54

Together with soloist Sir Stephen Hough, the CBSO and Sir Mark Elder reinvent Brahms’ First Piano Concerto, present the complex non-narrative of Janáček The Fiddler's Child and suggest real happiness in Shostakovich’s Sixth Symphony. 

Rouvali's Sibelius completely misses the mark, but his Shostakovich is thrilling and vibrant.

Klaus Mäkelä's transparent, tragic Tchaikovsky is the highlight of his auspicious debut with the NY Phil.
