Yes, this is a solid performance to live with. Although the competition
(even in the midprice range) is big. Here are a few which certainly won't
disappoint you from point of view recording/price/interpretation:
1. Karajan, Berliner Philharmoniker. Very broad and brooding approach.
On Deutsche Grammophon.
2. Ashkenazy, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra London. Excellent recording.
Great bonus: the chamber symphony op. 110a.
3. Previn with (if I'm not mistaken) London Symphony Orchestra. A bit
older, but still a very decent sound indeed, and probably the cheapest
of these.
4. Haitink. As said above. Also coupled with another Shostakovitsj.
5. Mravinsky with Leningrad Philharmonic. If you're in for a certain
histrionics this is the one.
But beware, if you can just be patient for 2 months, I've heard there is a
Gergiev under way. This might be fireworks, judging by what he has shown
so far.
