Confirmed!
Played this box a year or so ago, and it is indeed wonderful.
Got it very cheap too!

Had to blow the dust off of this one:

There will never be another era like the Golden Age of Hollywood.  We didn't know how to blow up buildings then so we had no choice but to tell great stories with great characters.-Ben Mankiewicz

That is really a excellent choice, and very well recorded. :)
Alas, have it too, so leave the prize winning liqueur in the bottle.

One of the best discs in my collection.

I have no doubt the prize will be in its bottle for a very loooooong time. :)

No....I have a few of the Haitink recordings that I enjoy, but no full cycles.  Lot more knowledgeable Shostakovich fans here than myself, so I will leave this one unfielded.  Sorry about that.  Sounds like a terrific thread topic.
Jansons! 

I have his 2, 3, 4, 8, 12, 13th, and 14th recordings, and (Besides the 3 and 14 one, which is good, but not as good as the other ones), they are extremely good :D

Anyways:  Shostakovovich: 8th Symphony Jansons/PSO

This:



Perfect Sunday morning music. Mozarts gorgeous clarinet concerto.

I'm listening to this:




Tetrazzini, Melba, Patti, Hempel, Galli-Curci (sigh), Ponselle, Lehmann, Turner, Muzio....

If anyone needs a disc to torture Harry, I recommend this one  ;D

Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."

After Micheangelis take on Beethoven's op. 7 sonata, I'm retiring.
I love music. Sadly, I'm an audiophile too.
