@10WiseVirgins You gave me quite the dilemma... both versions (to me) are superb. However, I do give preference to this one... it just seems to build up the tension much more in the first and last movements. Vasiliev's first movement is occasionally a tad too fast for my liking. Again, however, both versions are marvelous.
No. Badly done. less dramatism. WRONG. compare with Alexey Vasiliev. this is a REAL Shostakovich ; /watch?v=cdh8fUkA5uc&feature=results_main&playnext=1&list=PL8F78B618254B8935

I agree with codcdbp. Valery Gergiev is often an impressive conductor, very russian !
A lot of thanks
