Glad to see Shostakovich’s 10th is helping the scene…that says something good about musical intelligence today.
Was at Tanglewood last weekend and the shop there wanted $17.95 plus tax for this CD. I passed it by.
How much was your ticket (for two whole hours of music) at Tanglewood?
If I may say so, that was a mistake. I just got it and it is absolutely sensational. Mind you, perhaps you don’t like the repertoire, but if you do, this is as good as you are likely to ever hear. Great sonics too from Symphony Hall. Applause is retained at the end (some may find this annoying).
We may be low brow,
but we has got opposing thumbs.
Very useful for plucking tissues,
when our Beloved Jackie sings!
