I'm always looking out for Shostakovich records but they're few and far between. Lately i scored two versions of the symphony nr. 10, one by Karajan/BPO/DGG and one by Rozhdestvensky/USSR MCO/Melodia.

On a flea market i found the complete symphonies and string quartets on CD for a measly 7 euro. On a Dutch budget label called Brilliant classics. The symphonies by Barshai/WDR orch., the quartets by the Rubio quartet.

I prefer Russian versions but those old Melodia records aren't always sonic gems...

Well, I've got to tip my hat to you; many discographies have it all wrong. - jdaniel@jps.net 10:20:07 07/20/14 (2)

Speaking of the Oistrakh: IMHO far more harrowing 1st mov't than the more famous Mitropoulos collaboration. - jdaniel@jps.net 12:07:03 07/20/14 (0)
