In Reply to: Wigglesworth's Shosty Babi Yar half off at eclassical, but will the trees look sternly enough? posted by jdaniel@jps.net on March 25, 2017 at 09:52:21:
I bought this recording when it came out. The sound reproduction is outstanding, especially in mch surround. The performance is also excellent, but it is nowhere as powerful as the Kondrashin recording with Artur Eizen (which has better sound than the one with Gromadsky singing).
The Eizen/Kondrashin version uses the "softened" text that makes the first movement not so clearly about anti-Semitism. As a non-Russian speaker, that doesn't matter to me, because I know what the poet and the composer intended. I don't know if any recordings other than Kondrashin's Soviet performances use that expurgated text.
