Mravinsky Shostakovich Recordings USSR State Symph
Does anyone have any recordings of Mravinsky conducting Shostakovich #5 and any other works with the USSR State Symphony? These are bound to be LP as I cannot find reference to them ever being brought to CD or SACD.
What are your thoughts on these performances? I am extremely interested in laying my hands on a copy of each...
I have all the Mravinksy with Lenningrad discs I can find (CD) and find the performances to be raw, realistic and true to form with great Shostakovich but I am hoping to hear the USSR State recordings as well as some of them have the reputations of legend (particulary #5).
Send me an Audiogin in-mail to my Inbox if that would be more appropriate for this discussion.
Thanks in advance for the help!
