Discussion: Shostakovitch: Symphony No. 7 "Leningrad" - Valery Gergiev

Posts: 2

I don't like this very much, although Gergiev brings here his 'Russian accent'. My top 5 recordings are:
1) Mariss Jansons (RCO Live)
2) Neeme Järvi (Chandos)
3) Vasily Petrenko (Naxos)
4) Leonard Bernstein (DG)
5) Kurt Masur (Warner Classics Apex)

What do you think?

Kitajenko + Dmitriev although Dmitriev is the shortest Rendition of DSCH 7th.

Some might see these picks as heredetory, but I have already written that Kitajenko is DSCHs pupil and thus have license to shed a new light on the score.

Järvi & Bernstein treat DSCH as they treated Mahler a while earlier.

So the only conductor from your list worth considertion is Jansons.
