Thanks Mark. I have read where the Kondrashin is the ONE. Man you're right about pricy. Thank you for the inside history of the performance. I bet you could cut the tension there with a knife. Thanks again my friend.
Follow Ups:
another several-year-later Kondrashin recording on Melodiya (with the regime-mandated revised text) which certainly is good, but without the urgency of the late '62 recording. Overall, whichever of any of these symphonies you get, enjoy! And if you haven't already, you might explore the string quartets. I came to them late (as I did chamber music in general), and they take some time to really absorb, but they're amazing.

Thanks for the heads up. I have all the string quartets. They are wonderful indeed.
