Hit: 5 Stars
This disc was my first exposure to the Ninth, and I cannot say I have heard a more convincing rendition; now the Fifth is played here with gusto, but I have Rostropovich's recording from 1994 that outshines almost any for overall interpretation and sound engineering. One cannot go wrong with this Rahbari CD though.If you're somewhat new to Shostakovich, get nice recordings of symphonies 4&10, such as Eugene Ormandy on Sony, and a couple chamber music CDs. The Complete Trios & Sonatas on Arabeque is great but might be unavailable; still, Naxos has some other nice Shostakovich recordings, including the Complete String Quartets.
This Ninth is outstanding, and who minds having several versions of the Fifth? I could live with this one pretty well. Once again, there is every reason to buy this disc -- performance, sound, and price are right-on.
