CD Reviews

An incandescent performance of the Shostakovich First

Santa Fe Listener | Santa Fe, NM USA | 09/24/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"In the Soveit era even the greatest musicians didn't go West very often, if at all. But they did get to Prague and other satellite cities. ON a visit to Prague the greatest condcutor of Shostakovich and the greatest player of shostakovich got together; the results are incredibly fine. Mravinsky and Oistrakh get much more passion and bite out of the Shostakovich first than any other pairing, so much so that I can overlook the boxy, cramped sonics. A classic that can be found on several other labels--it's worth seaarching out which has hte best sound"
