In Reply to: Definitely whets my appetite for their DGG Shostakovich, at least the 10th posted by jdaniel@jps.net on January 8, 2017 at 12:09:24:
As I understand it, DG (and probably most other major labels) don't really do their own recordings and don't have in-house engineers any more, and haven't for some time. Instead, most classical recordings nowadays are done by third parties and are licensed for release by the record labels. Look at the new Murray Perahia Bach recording on DG as an example: he just signed his new contract with them in September 2016, yet the recording was made back in 2013, when he was still with Sony.
BTW, I love the Nelsons Shostakovich recordings, especially 10 and 8--the best 8th since Previn's EMI one, I think.
