Re: Jarvi Shostakovich
Apologies to Marc, I had thought the Sargent performance was the London premiere. And Chris is quite right about the encore of the ‘Resurrection’ though sadly there wasn’t room on the CD issue to include it. I remember the concert began with Stokowski’s orchestration of Bach’s Passacaglia and Fugue with the interval after the first movement of the Mahler leading one critic to comment that Mahler may have asked for a five minute pause but it was surely for spiritual rather spirituous refreshment....
