Free Music Review: Great Performance, but not what it advertises......
Hit: 3 Stars
I have owned this recording for quite a long time now, and I now own the Russian Revelation recording of the Shostakovich 11th that was made in the studio in 1959. Upon looking at a discography of Mravinsky's recordings, I discovered that these two recordings are the same! Well, not quite. It is very easy to access the information on the internet. According to the DSCH Journal website, there has been doctoring up of the earier performance to make it seem to be a live recording. Applause has been added to certain parts of the recording (especially the end-which has full applause on it.)...the biggest difference is the break between the second and third movements. This Praga recording has this break, although it is not notated in the score (if you got to know about this piece via Stokowski's recording, one realizes that these movements follow each other without a break.) In the Revelation recording, there is no break. The performance is, of course, worth owning, but I guess I feel a little bit duped. If you cannot find the Revelation recording (and it is hard to find, I jumped for joy when I found it today used) by all means, listen to it. Mravinsky's Shostakovich recordings are well worth it. But be warned. Also, other recordings in this series have the same story. Please see the website above for more information.
