Shostakovich 7th symphony. Anton Nanut / Ljubljana SO. Stradivari CD. Aha,
now we're cookin' with charcoal!! Superbly involving, the infamous 40 page 1st movement crescendo builds to a truly terrifying climax here, not just a build up to a loud noise that Jarvi plays. Fook me, the Nazi's really are battering at the city gates!
Good recording, too, really fruity and dynamic. This remains my fave 7th.
(Try Nanut's Bruckner 8th, Mahler's 6th and Beethoven's 7th as well, once again my faves of many versions - a great conductor, sadly overlooked).
