In the Thread: The "new" Shostakovich 10th symphony
Post Subject: Asahina - sometimes good, sometimes badPosted by JANDL100 on: 12/6/2007
Yes, I do know what you mean about Asahina.   I have DVDs of a Brahms symphony cycle - 4 is good (not wonderful), 2 not bad, 3 is just plain boring (and it is one of my favourite symphonies).   I haven't gotten around to 1 yet - too much other stuff to listen to that is probably better.    I agree that Asahina's reputation/legend usually exceeds his actual accomplishment.

I have sent you another small packet of CDRs, Romy, including a very wonderful (I think) Shosty piano quintet - I eagerly await your opinion on it!
