(Maybe it >did!) 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 Chris Bonds
