In Reply to: RE: Mravinsky's Shostakovich 8th.. posted by frankwm on July 19, 2014 at 20:31:50
Well thank you for the clarification, but I still found myself moved, even with the bad sound.The box says MK 219-B and the Lp's say TY35/XII 538-63. Vinyl feels like 200 gram, interestingly enough.

'63' was the year-introduction of the cutting equipment (next along: '68' / '74'..).
These thick mid-60's mono LP's should ('always') have the 'D' (or '33D') info: ie. D-01460: a genuine 'courtesy of the Nazi's' 1947 recording (and never on CD) - as repeated on the dead-wax; matrix/catalogue #'s being the same (and why the discography indicates Mravinsky's 1947 version was on 4 sides..)

Even WERM/supplement 3 has the wrong info for that Glazunov.Sym.8; it's stated to be conducted by Mravinsky..
Mravinsky's 1953 Shostakovich Symphony 7 is listed there as D-01380/83 (so M.Herman is in error - as now see he's also claiming that for the 8th...so your list is more likely right for the 1947 version's original cat #'s)
Anyway: Mravinsky's 1953 Shostakovich 7th has no bass: at least in the late '80s white-label mastering (c/w Oistrakh's VC.1 - Melodiya D-033449/52 - with a different set #)
I find the 1st mov't to be one of Shostakovich's most "perfect" vision of "dread" and/or "desolation."
Oistrakh's interpretation is pretty much the same in each, but Mravinsky's accompaniment is far more intense than Mitro's.
I have it on a clean "Monitor" copy, sound is OK.
