13 shows off some marvelous vocal/choral chops - men's chorus has a lot of unison, but it was because he wanted his audience to understand every word of Yevtushenko's "in your face" text. The movement with the tuba solo is called "Fears." The tuba portrays the effect Stalin had on him. Scary as hell.
Does anyone have a Masur recording of 5? I'm pretty sure it's Masur who takes the last movement really slow, particularly the coda. It completely changes the effect of the piece - instead of triumphant celebration, it's brutal and threatening. And I think it's what Dmitri meant.
Shostakovich

While we are talking CDs, I might as well mention this one. CSO playing sym. 5 in 2006 I recently bought the CSO recording of Bruckner 7 from the same "resound" series- the quality of performance is (of course) astounding, but the audio quality really sets it apart from most classical. This recording of Shostakovich 5 very high on my list of CDs to buy.

Symphony 7 on it was Arnold's last recording I think.
I thought that it was Pokorny and Vernon? The recording is from 1988... Or are there 2 CSO/Bernstein recordings?The most powerful brass playing I've ever heard is on the CSO/ Bernstein #7. Both Rex Martin and Jake are playing on a lot of the louder passages. Len really let them wail.

CSO/Bernstein=Jacobs
There's _1_ CSO/Bernstein recording of Shostakovich 7, and it was Jacobs. "Song & Wind" would tell us who tuba 2 was.I thought that it was Pokorny and Vernon? The recording is from 1988... Or are there 2 CSO/Bernstein recordings?

I've heard quite a few symphony 5 recordings. I really like the tuba playing on Maazel's in Cleveland. But, for the brass section as a whole (especially the horns and bass trombone) I love Muti's in Philadelphia. Muti is probably my favorite, but I haven't heard too many European orchestra recordings of it.

Song and Wind tells us that Rex Martin substituted on portions of the 1st and 7th. Look it up. And neither Rex or I am lying about him and Arnold both playing on portions of the 7th.There's _1_ CSO/Bernstein recording of Shostakovich 7, and it was Jacobs. "Song & Wind" would tell us who tuba 2 was.
Vernon, yes. Gene did not arrive until 1989.I thought that it was Pokorny and Vernon? The recording is from 1988
