I don’t think the Maxim Shostakovich 15 has had a mention? Surreally recorded (the string polyrhythms in the first movement have a bizarre halo) and with a particular despondency I haven’t heard anyone else get anywhere near. There are LP copies still floating about, or you might get lucky and find the mixed Melodiya set from a few years ago at a non-hilarious price.

I also have the box as a download from Qobuz - no longer available - which cost some ludicrously small sum, so maybe I should just burn the 15th to CD and flog the box. I'm no great fan of the 11th so wouldn't greatly miss the Ivanov.

I also thought of Constant Lambert's Prize-Fight...
Re Efrem Kurtz No 1 - was that on CfP back in the 70s? I seem to recall hearing the Shostakovich/Prokofiev coupling.

Glad to hear that Ormandy 15th has other admirers beside myself. It was recorded in quadraphonic, incidentally.
Not everyone knows that the Vienna Philharmonic recorded Shostakovitch's 5th twice, under Sivestri, in the 1950s, and Mariss Jansons on CD. It's not inappropriate: for all its thrills and drama, it is at heart a very lyrical symphony.
