HutchFan Posted September 18, 2023 Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 Disc 4 - Oistrakh plays Beethoven: - Violin Concerto in D, Op. 61 - with André Cluytens & the Orchestre National de la Radiodiffusion Française - Violin Sonata No. 9 in A, Op. 47 'Kreutzer' - with Lev Oborin and Over the last decade or so, I've probably played this Tchaikovsky/Sibelius VCs album as much as any classical disc in my collection. And I've definitely heard more from Oistrakh than any other violinist (in a soloist's role). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Referentzhunter Posted September 19, 2023 Report Share Posted September 19, 2023 On 9/18/2023 at 5:38 AM, HutchFan said: Do you mean other Shostakovich symphonies in Haitink's cycle? Or do you mean other Shostakovich symphonies -- in general -- among the 15 that he composed? If it's the latter, I would suggest looking into the Fourth, Fifth, Ninth, Tenth, Thirteenth, and Fifteenth. IMO, the two most impressive recorded cycles of Shostakovich's symphonies were both made in the Soviet Union -- by conductors Kirill Kondrashin (with the Moscow PO, recorded between 1962 and 1975) and Gennadi Rozhdestvensky (with the USSR Ministry of Culture SO, recorded in the 1980s). Yes. It's magnificent. Haitink's cycle ... ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're a bit too staid and by-the-book for me. OTOH, others listeners love Haitink's cycle. IIRC, the Penguin Guide authors did. It all depends on what you're drawn to. For me, Shostakovich's music -- at heart -- should sound anguished and driven and despairing and sardonic. Haitink's temperament -- his coolness and reserve -- serves him very well in certain repertoire. But I think Shostakovich fares better with more extroverted conductors. And I think Russian/Soviet conductors who lived in the USSR can bring a special insight to DSCH's music. My 2 cents.

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 recording of DSCH's 15th has its advocates, for sure. Give it a listen and see what you think. For my money, the finest 15th is the first -- the premiere recording -- made by DSCH's son Maksim for Melodiya: Pictured above: the U.S. release on Angel-Melodiya. IMO, this LP is one of the most powerful DSCH recordings ever made. 45 minutes ago, Referentzhunter said: I have the Barsai-cycle in high esteem too. Yes, I agree.

I'm not familiar with that one. I'll check it out. CORRECTION: I actually have this recording. It's in the big EMI box that I posted above. I'd just never seen that cover photo before, so I didn't recognize it. Edited September 21, 2023 by HutchFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeweil Posted September 20, 2023 Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 After three attempts this finally arrived here - either my adress was truncated by postal labels or software. I just thanked their sales manager for his stubbornness - he mailed me and said this was the first time such problems arose in shipping. The music is wonderful. https://www.dominiquecorbiau.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
