'Live' Stokowski/Chicago S.O. Shostakovich 10 issued on Urania

The timings are great to my taste, except that the Allegretto movement (#3) might be a tad swift for me.

It's an excellent account, that was also included in one of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra's self-produced megasets of radio material. Stokowski takes passages of the first movement at a quicker pace, making it tie into the fierceness of the second movement. Now that I've heard it that way, it feels like that's the only way it should go. This release will make it more widely available, and that's a great thing.

Thanks. I think I'll go ahead and order a copy. It's not like to show up at Spotify or Youtube.
