Best Analog Reissue: Schostakowitsch: Symphony NR.10, Berliner Philharmoniker (Herbert von Karajan, conductor), Deutsche Grammaphone/Speakers Corner 139020 SLPM. As the saying goes, better late than never. This 12-inch black disc sat for several years on a record shelf due to DG's less than stellar reputation for sound quality (read unlistenable). Big mistake. This reissue bears little resemblance to the DGs that I'm and PFO's readers are familiar with (according to Sid Marks, and who's to argue with his years of experience, not all DG's records sound like a "table radio." ). This Shostakowitch's Symphony NR. 10 possesses an extremely wide frequency response along with a sense of hall acoustics and natural instrumental timbre (save for an extremely rare high string hardness). Yes, there's a glint of the Speaker's Corner's sound but that's more than compensated for by von Karajan's mastery of the 10th. Grab this album if it's still available! - Positive Feedback
