I've been looking for a modern recording that might equal or surpass Sveshnikov's classic Melodiya version. Pugsley, (EDIT:Jermihov) has paid particular attention to his basso profundo line up and ratio. Recorded by Prof Johnson as well.I just downloaded the Latvian Choir's performance on Ondine today. Beautiful, carefully-prepared performance. No glare in the climaxes. But not the old Russian sound upon which I imprinted.
