This must be the first time Mats and I are in complete agreement, he
writes:
>Toscaninis Sjostakovitj Symphonies are worthless to me
Not only to him, musically Mr T is blind to what this music is about (I
have symphonies 1, 5 and 7 on RCA), to be honest I do not even like any of
his Beethoven. Nor does his Prokofiev and Kalinikov recordings impress
(Both first symphonies), the only good thing I can say is that his own
orchestration of Pierre Degeyters "Internationale" swing nicely, but then
this is a very catchy tune. 8^)
As for Verdi's Requiem, I'm a period insrument geek saying, Gardiner does
it for me!
