I have my eyes on this.  Has anyone heard it yet?  Rozhdestvensky is probably my favorite conductor of this repertoire.

When, a few months before his death, Rachmaninov lamented that he no longer had the "strength and fire" to compose, friends reminded him of the Symphonic Dances, so charged with fire and strength. "Yes," he admitted. "I don't know how that happened. That was probably my last flicker."

This pair of discs got a recent enthusiastic review on MusicWeb.  Do you know the other/live Rozhdestvensky DSCH performances;



it contains wildly blazing versions of Symphonies 1,4,7,9 & 10 plus Rothschild's Violin and the British & American Folksongs cycle amongst other interesting repertoire too.

I came across this set almost by accident.  An established Cologne-based Quartet I had never heard before;



They play Quartets 7-13 in order along with a pre-No.9 fragment and a fragment/1st version of No.13.  Stunningly fine and powerful playing and excellent recording too.  Quite a different take on some of the quartets with more flowing tempi in the Largo/Lento movements - but very effective especially whhen juxtaposed against corruscating Allegro movements.  A genuine find and one to put up there with the finest versions for consideration and comparison.....

I finally managed to get hold of a second hand copy of Deccas's wonderful nine disc box of the concertos, suites, film music, incidental music, chamber symphonies (arranged from the string quartets) and other orchestral works which was issued in 2006 for the centenary. For some reason there was an unidentified article embedded under the actual surface of CD3 and this caused problems for several tracks. But as this disc is identical with Chailly's disc of film music I simply ordered a second hand copy of that, popped it in the box and chucked the original one out. The set is well worth seeking out as it was deleted several years ago...

What can I say? I dig all the love for Mitropoulos.

Lady Macbeth of Mashpee

Nice, must have been a very good performance.  I saw this opera in San Francisco many years ago - it was very good.  I always thought Katerina Izmailova was just a minor revision, softening the criticism of Lady Macbeth but this sounds like it was a much more substantial reimagining of the same story.  Fascinating.
