This morning I have been playing a (double) CD that I bought whilst strolling in the Strand in 2003. It is HvK, BPO Strauss Ein Heldenleben & Beethoven Symphony no.6, recorded 28th & 30th May 1969 in the Moscow Conservatoire USSR. I think the CD was released in 2002.
I believe that there was a Shostakovich Symphony no. 10 recorded by HvK in the former USSR. Does anyone know any details about this recording?
Thanks
Henry

One additional information:
ARS008 comes with the live take of Brandenburgisches Konzert Nr.1 F-dur BWV1046.

Caveat Emptor ARS NOVA ARS008 ARS NOVA Notorius Russian bootlegger, this company appears for all intents and purposes legit and sells a lot of products over the net to the rest of the world but is actually a new breed of bootleggers that specialices copying the works of small independent labels and artists that cannot afford to legally defend themselves. We have been contacted by a couple of organisations that whish to make it clear that they are not connected with this company although they share the name, since none of them is Russian that should be self evident. audiotools.com/labels.html |

This is a most interesting topic. I have the recording of the Shostakovich 10th from the 1969 Moscow concert and would have no hesitation in including it in my top ten must-have Karajan recordings. The performance was on 29 May and was included in the second of three concerts in Moscow during the 1969 visit; in addition to the Shostakovich this concert included the first Brandenburg as already mentioned by Mahalo. This historical event is referred to by Richard Osborne in A life in Music : |

Thank you very much, David!
Beautiful memories; very exiting the presence of Dmitri Shostakovich!

A curiosity: didn't Karajan liked the Symphony N° 5 by Shostakovich?
Thank you

Hi Rosy.
Regarding your comment about Karajan and Shostakovich, in the early 1960's EMI vetoed proposals for Karajan/BPO recordings of the fifth, eighth and tenth symphonies on the grounds that they felt Karajan was "not a Shostakovich conductor". A pity, but Richard Osborne in his biography points out that Karajan in any case revered the recordings of Mravinsky; indeed, in "Conversations with Karajan" the Maestro admitted that he once said he would not touch the sixth symphony of Shostakovich because of Mravinsky.
Warm regards,
Lee

Thanks, Lee!  You have solved all my doubts! ****************************************************************************I'd have wanted to listen to Shostakovich Sym. No. 5 , conducted by Karajan! Rosy
