5.0 out of 5 stars IT TOOK YEARS TO OUTDO ORMANDY'S 4RTH!!!, 15 Jun 2004
But Previn's 4rth is breathtaking; the Finale guaranteed to bring unbearable chills down one spine. Ormandy was a tad too fast in the Finale. Previn slows it down, and the tension he creates goes almost beyond the brink. One is felt totally exhausted after this definitive performance. It lacks Ormandy's Philadelphia strings, but in that exhaustive finale, you have Chicagos unbeatable brass section, and not for one split second do they ever let up!! Unfortunately Previn's CSO 5th is only ok, but not great by comparison ( his earlier 5th with the LSO on an RCA budget CD is still preferred). Ironically, the best 5th I feel remains Ormandy's first stereo recording, currently available on a budget Sony CD ( with the famous 1959 Bernstein NYP coming in a very close second, available on a mid-price Sony CD). Previn's "Peter Grimes" highlights are no slouch, but not quite the equal of Bernstein's tension filled performance with the BSO from his "Final Concert" on DG. Regardless, this set is easily worth the price for just Previn's 4rth alone. This is THE Shostakovich 4th of a lifetime!!!!
