Released by Brilliant Classics in 2008, this 27 disc box set contains a wide selection of the work of 20th Century Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich. It focuses particularly on his symphonies, concertos, suites, chamber works, and his string quartets. So far, it seems no one else has posted this particular collection, so I took it upon myself to provide you all with this thread.
Edit, November 28th 2017: Originally, the links were my standard MEGA links. For whatever reason, MEGA decided to take down all the links, so I had to reupload them to Mediafire. Hopefully, this will avert the problem in the future. Should any of the links go down, please send me a PM, and I’ll try to provide a re-up as soon as humanely possible.

Yeah, I’m working on setting up accounts there right now. I know I wanna avoid places like Uploaded and their ilk, since they’re download times are prohibitive for everyone else.
