Pretty amazing, isn't it? I would suggest getting the Brilliant Classics box set of the complete Shostakovich symphonies, with Rudolf Barshai leading the Cologne Radio Symphony Orchestra. It's excellent all away around: the conducting; the playing; sound quality. You can get this box for about $35. Brilliant Classics liscensed the material from the WDR - West German Radio. You'll have to trust me that it's really, REALLY good, as I've listend to darn near every Shostakovich symphony recording that's ever been released. To my mind, it completely blows away all other complete cycles that have been made with maybe, MAYBE the possible exception of Rostroprovich's.
