Full Scores of Symphonies Nos.11-15 are currently in preparation which will complete the set of all 15 works in one of the 20th century's most important symphonic cycles. The series also includes reductions of the symphonies either for piano (solo or 4 hands) or where voice or chorus is included as vocal scores, many of which are already available in limited edition printruns.
Shostakovich highlights in the 2011/12 season include the first performance of his unfinished opera Orango in an orchestration by Gerard McBurney. This political lampoon commissioned by the Bolshoi in the 1930s, featuring a human-ape hybrid conceived in a medical experiment, was only rediscovered in 2004. Esa-Pekka Salonen conducts the world premiere with the Los Angeles Philharmonic on 2 December 2011 in a production by Peter Sellars. A vocal score of Orango is available from DSCH in its Complete Shostakovich Edition.
