Yes, I love Shosty's 9th - I think it is great fun and quite moving, in equal measure .... & such wonderful orchestral colours, presented with great purity. It could easily be excerpts from a superb film score! Unconventional, but nonetheless a product of real genius, in my view. Pure Shostakovich. Prompted by this thread, I'm listening to Barshai in the 9th at the moment.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
