It’s the symphony that might or might not have recalibrated Shostakovich’s future and it’s still one of the trickiest to pull off in performance. Noseda meets it halfway – which makes for pluses and minuses. His LSO Live performance doesn’t get off to a particularly arresting start...Noseda seeks to convey forward movement in a piece that sometimes feels like it’s facing the wrong way, but in doing so I do wonder if he slightly undermines Shostakovich’s attempts to wrong-foot us.
