I'm not familiar with Haitink's 10th.  In general, there's substantial
opinion that Haitink's way with Shostakovich is too controlled and tame.

I favor Karajan on DG.  I bought it a few years ago on their Galleria label
(I think).  Donald's our DDD man, and it's possible that the Karajan is
DDD.  But, as I remember, the sound wasn't all that great, just the
interpretation.
