Hmm.A lot of folks seem to be enjoying Haitink's Shostakovich - I'll have to investigate that myself!
Last night - Mozart c-minor mass - Welser-Most conducting on an EMI CfP double CD (paired with the Requiem). Nice, and with the (imo) incomparable Felicity Lott in the solo soprano role - but perhaps pushed a little too hard by Welser-Most, I prefer a warmer and more laid-back approach, I think.

Lately it's been 20th century Americana (Gershwin, Ives, Adams and Bernstein) - including this one:
Pierre Boulez conducting the Ensemble Intercontemporain, playing compositions by Frank Zappa (not to be confused with Francesco Zappa).

Received yesterday, and played in the evening in one glorious monster sesh .... A nice Shostakovich LP eBay haul that will make Marco jealous.
Rozhdestvensky conducting the 5th and 10th symphonies on original Melodiya LPs.
Ormandy with the Philadelphia Orch in the 1st ever Western recording of the 15th symphony.
A bit of a scratch in the first half of the 10th, but that is listen-throughable. The rest is NM.
Oh ... and they are superb perfomances in good sound.

Interesting, Jerry. I have the 3rd by Rozhdestvensky in the same series as yours and the 5th by Svetlanov. Both surfaces are a little noisy but the performances are fiery.
I think Rozhdestvensky is often overlooked as a superb Russian conductor.

Yup, Rozhdestvensky is a very fine conductor.
His Bruckner series with Russian orchestras is one of the joys of my collection. I have 00, 0, 1, 3, 5 & 8 - I'm not aware that he's recorded any others. Ah, that fruity Russian brass sound is marvellously strange in Bruckner!

I must start building up my own collection of Shossy. Remember, if you purloin any from charity shops, their asses are mine!
