Dmitri Dmitriyevich at his best, IMNSHO.

And yes, I think Jarvi gets it right.

And while we're on the subject of Dmitri Dmitriyevich's # 7.... - Ivan303 19:38:43 12/26/16 (5)
Might I take this opportunity to put in a good word for Semyon Bychkov?

OK, not Hi Rez and with an orchestra that's not the least bit Russian, but German, and not even East German at that.
- I had Bychkov's Shosty 11th back in the day - jdaniel@jps.net 19:58:57 12/26/16 (4)
  Not bad, but the next time I visited the 11th, it was on Lp with Berglund in Bournemouth, and the package knocked me for a loop.
  
  I haven't downloaded anything from the same forces yet, but I really liked the venue as captured by EMI, and Berglund has his moments.
  
  I look forward to Alsop's Bartok Wooden Prince, and I hope they captured the old-time magic.

    Look no further!
    
    This one is on SACD.
    
    Also just about my favorite #4.
    
    I like the Petrenko on Naxos, Royal Liverpool not very Russian either!
    
    And, I guess Gergiev, with the Kirov or is it the Mariinsky?
    
    Now I gotta go back and listen again.

      Jarvi was my first 4th, happened to be on sale What exciting times, when just about any mystery CD was a gem.
      
      I haven't run across a 1st mov't as similarly astonishing ahs that old Chandos issue, but Wigglesworth's was far more interesting in the 2nd and 3rd movts. I'm not sure I'm sold on his 1st, though I can't complain about recording or execution.
      
      May try Petrenko's next. I don't think Bychkov's is available as a download yet.

        Too bad we don't know someone with an old Sony Playstation with the 'right' old software version, as I have the SACD. :-(
