I love the opening of movement V--A Career. Haunting wind line and harmony.

Hi Fretless,
A recording of the 13th I wish I had was with Kirill Kondrashin conducting the Moscow Phil. and Vitaly Gromadski as bass vocalist on the old Melodiya label. Gromadski just stuns one in one's tracks.
Cheers,
Corno Dolce

The original version of Mendelssohn's E minor violin concerto, played by Daniel Hope.
I posted two extracts here

at the time I was still a member there, but apparently nobody noticed there's something wrong with the codas and simply referred to it as "The Mendelssohn concerto".

What for my dear docta's son?. I don't know better
recordings of those works The real first of
DFO-Mitropoulos live, is IMHO better that the very
famous done on studio. The Brahm's piece in the
hands of Julius is simply a marvel. And the Kreisler's
is definitive. Besides, I'm a specialist in histerical..
sorry, historical recordings.

Hi Corno,
The recording I own of this is Melodiya with Rozhdestvensky conducting, but the bass soloist is Anatoly Safiulin. It's from 1985, I assume you're probably referring to an even older recording.
I was exposed to this symphony with a recording conducted by Haitink. I've never heard the Kondrashin recordings of any Shostakovich, I don't think.

Hi Fretless,
Thank you kindly for pointing out an inconsistent statement. I had conflated the recording of Gromadski singing the bass solo in *Execution of Stepan Razin* with *Babi Yar* - How horrible of me :banghead::banghead::banghead:

Eek--not horrible at all! I was excited that I actually owned that recording. I don't know that much about Shostakovich specialists and discs. But now I have a new piece to seek out--never heard the Execution of Stepan Razin.

Does Christmas music count for classical music? Some was written
by famous composers.

I don't think so, but it counts as Christmas music.

Hi Fretless,
The *Execution of Stepan(Stenka)Razin* is one of the most rabble-rousing dramatic works out there - I kid you not! I never tire hearing it repeatedly.
Cheers,
Corno Dolce
Today I listened to Shosty's 11th Symphony.

Hi Some Guy,
I have Shosty's Lady MacBeth aka Katerina Izmailova. It is a very sexy opera - Ooo la la!!! I remember hearing a production of it a few years ago at the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg. The production was, basically R-18 rated - quite graphical scenes and sounds to the extent I had to in one scene avert my eyes from the stage. The music fit the staging perfectly. These days, when ever I hear the trombones doing their raunchy glissandos in that one particular act, I can't help but envision the live performance
:smirk::
