Nelsons hasmost certainly brought the BSO back into the realms where they belong. I do hope DG record all the Symphonies.

Originally posted by Bryn View PostNot "The Stalin Years", BBN, but "Under Stalin's Shadow". The 2nd and 3rd Symphonies, both composed during the Stalin era, are not included and, strangely, the issue with the 4th and 11th does not bear either legend. While the 11th was composed some 4 years after Stalin's death, the 4th is surely that most clearly composed "under Stalin's shadow".

Another good Shostakovich recording there Stan?
Now today would’ve been Maestro Claudio Abbado’s 86th birthday. So the rest of today’s listening will be recordings by him.
