For 50 cents I figured why not, even though two of these cantatas, from the Stalin era, supposedly left DS so humiliated by what he'd done that after their premieres he wept with shame and got drunk. (The third, the celebrated "The Execution of Stepan Razin," from the post Stalin era, is something of a work of protest.) I already have an excellent fiery "Razin," with Kondrashin, but the made to order for Stalin cantatas, one about post-war reforestration, one an ode to the motherland and its glorious leader, when listened to without the lyrics (not provided here), are rather thrilling in their marshaling of vast choral-orchestral forces. Yes, the musical language is rather simplistic by DS's normal standards, but I'm not left with the impression that he's working in a mechanical manner. May change my mind on this, but if you turn the volume way up, you may feel like salaaming to Uncle Joe.

Listening again. Recommended especially for the Franck-sonata recording. Did almost blew me out of my chair. Mintz playing here is so... so intense and convincing ! superb !!! Don't possibly underestimate this recording of Franck's sonata because they were very young at the moment of the recording.
