Not your grandfather's mono. More like your great-grandfather's mono (some overload throughout), but still: the intensity of the performance comes through.It also includes the Beethoven Quartet (Shostakovich's preferred quartet for his music, at least privately) performing the #4.
Mravinsky recorded the symphony 3 times, I believe. I haven't heard the other two but I've read that the '47 has the best 1st mov't.
The usual recommendation is the TAS-listed Previn on EMI.
MMK box is pristine and Lp's are surprisingly well-pressed, which isn't usually the case w/MMK.

- 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)
