I've done a bit of searching for this (either the premiere or the studio)
and found a used Everest stereo which was offered in response to my request
for "Shostakovich Symphony 13 "Babi Yar", Moscow Philharmonic, Kondrashin,
Russian Disc # 11191 [the premiere recording I think].  Do you know
anything about this Everest disc? Is it really stereo?

Thanks
