5.0 out of 5 stars Five stars for a particular point of view!, 13 Nov 2006
By Colin Fortune (Birmingham, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
You won't find the anger and fire of Mravinski and the Lenigrad Orchestra here. Instead Rostropovich gives a striking and memorable almost doom-laden performance, which I find remarkable and irresitable. The sound is good and the interpretation magnificent - though some people will miss the frenzy of the ostinato in the third movement that is the hallmark of other Russian interpretations. For me the slower and horribly relentless tempo works just as well. A fine and valid (if alternative) point of view for what could just be Shostakovich's greatest symphony.
