PRAISE FOR THE ALBUM Santtu conductors Shostakovich: Symphony No. 10:

"Themes from previous movements come to life and intertwine in a fascinating way, and thanks to the overwhelming energy of Rouvalin's music, we are almost convinced of the heroism of resistance and endurance, which is ultimately rewarded with an explosive, joyful liberation." – MusicWeb International

"The first movement is both atmospheric and flowing, sensitively depicting each stage of the unfolding psychological drama." – Gramophone.
