Music reviews of Shostakovich: Symphony No. 8
Music Review: Highly Recommendable at the Price
Rating: 4 Stars
Recorded in 1973 and considered pretty hot stuff back then, this performance was finally being released on CD just in time to compete head-to-head with a rerecording by the same orchestra and conductor on DG. Although this performance sounds just a little too smooth for my taste, the refinement of the playing is undeniable, and although the recorded sound is a bit dry and spare on the bottom end, the overall sound quality is admirable. At midprice, this is a highly recommendable recording, but for a few bucks more, Haitink and Ashkenazy, both on London, feature excellent performances in slightly better sound, and the Ashkenazy disk features a couple of short but enjoyable filler pieces as a bonus.
