This was released on Sony a few months ago, according to amazon.com.
Are there any reviews of it yet (other than at Amazon)? I tracked down
one via Google, but the reviewer is fawning over all of the
performances. Has it been reviewed in Gramophone yet (doesn't look
like it) or ARG?

Haven't heard a note yet, but just discovered the COMPLETE set IS available on Amazon Music. Search for Shostakovich Symphonies and browse the list of albums; eventually it pops up, but a search for Michael Sanderling is no good. There are some ten volumes, each of one or more symphonies.

If you search "Michael Sanderling Shostakovich" the box of 15 pops up first.

Google search for "Michael Sanderling Shostakovich Review" brings up several, including MusicWeb and Gramophone, which cover various earlier releases combining items from Sanderling's complete cycles of Beethoven and Shostakovich, matching the two Fifths, the two Firsts, the Ninth and Thirteenth, plus the Third and the Tenth. Not raves by any means... nothing yet on the complete 15 I could find.

Spotify has plentry of Shostakovich by both Michael and Kurt
Sanderling. The only symphony that seems to be missing is #12.

I have it, and it's superb. Definitely in the top handful of the best complete cycles. Here's the MusicWeb review...http://www.musicweb-international.com/classrev/2019/Aug/Shostakovich_sys_19075872462.htm
