Romy, fortunately I live nearby Amsterdam (the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra's home), so I'm quite familiair with the Concertgebouw's acoustics. The Philips recordings made in the late 60's and during the 70's with Bernard Haitink and Colin Davis sound great, because they give a good impression of the Concertgebouw's acoustics. I agree that a FM live broadcast is very good indeed. Regarding to Shostakovich 8th, the Gergiev/Kirov/Philips rendering of this piece is also excellent.
