Shostakovich Symphony No. 10 - Evgeny Mravinsky Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra (Live Recording)

Mravinsky nails it. So does Melodiya.

I have several recorded 10ths (including Jarvi, Ormandy, and Haitink), and each has something to commend it. Mravinsky's is the whole package, perhaps because he could identify with what drove Shostakovich to write it. Ensemble playing is tight and focused, and Melodiya's sonics capture the live performance exceedingly well. My go-to for this work.
