I think his expansions on several of the Shostakovich string quartets - "chamber symphonies" - were a greatly contribution to music than his overly fertile performing version of Mahler 10. That's just me.

I really enjoy his M5 and 10. I play them often.
And I love most of his Shostakovich symphonies.
i'm puzzled by one sentence in the obit:
"In 2000 he completed his orchestration of Mahler’s Tenth Symphony which has thus far existed only in creditable performing editions."
Does this sentence make sense? I thought creditable meant worthy. Can someone help me make sense of this.
Thanks.
