That's a stunning symphony, Jack. My personal favourite is the Andre Previn 13th, he has a special understanding of Shostakovich and that old EMI recording is excellent, unnerving and with real menace.

It was the DSO that I sang with in the Shostakovich 13 that I mentioned a few posts back, with Neeme Jarvi conducting

I'm not sure I can take any more menace than Kondrashin, but I will be on the lookout for a copy of the Previn, thanks.
