Diapason d'or mars 2021 Enregistrement réalisé en juin 2020 au Théâtre populaire romand de la Chaux-de-Fonds par Jean-Martial Golaz.

Pizzicato.lu: Hoch emotionale Darbietung, Shostakovich

Dass Shostakovich durch die gelinde gesagt schwierigen äußeren Umstände beeinträchtigt war und sich diese Einflüsse auch in der Musik widerspiegeln, ist gewusst.
