Our November free drawing is for four sets of the Complete Shostakovich Symphonies, conducted by Vasily Petrenko on an 11-CD boxed set from Naxos. The 15 symphonies of Dmitry Shostakovich stand as one of the 20th century’s greatest musical achievements. They encapsulate the Soviet experience. Here is our review of the set. This is a $77 set at Amazon. To be considered for the drawing you need to register using our very simple form Here. Last month’s winners will be announced on our Editorial Page, where you will also find more details on the drawing for this month.
