Symphony No. 5

I am content with the Mravinsky/Kondrashin (Oistrakh) recordings i have of the Violin Concertos. I also have a Rohzdestvensky recording of the Violin Concerto that i don't like as much.

a record that has stayed with me after holding it in my hands in a large record hall (10 euro) is this one. haven't heard it, maybe i will have a listen on youtube now .

listening now... Thanks ! I'm learning slowly but surely.

Haitink's Shostakovish is a little bit to 'cosey' indeed, especially if you compare his interpretations with the over-emotional Russian interpretations. The eight symphony is about 'metamorphose' so about ... surviving and celebrating ... post-war emotions. Haitink hits IT ... very well. Hear someone mentioning his 15 th (maybe i will have go on youtube). Bye the way ... i have the Kondrashin cycle as some of the Rohzdestvensky symphonies. I have the Barsai-cycle in high esteem too.

Haitink's cycle ... ?

interesting 'musical moments' here. From the first moment is listened to ' Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis' i had 'that' aha-moment that still lives in my heart.

Ok, found some other symphonies also. Haven't listened to any of them but this eight is out of this world indeed. What synmphonies are also worth hearing ?

reading Dutch reissue ofcourse
