Title: Lively Perfomance, Great Singing
Product review: This Shostakovich #13 is quite good if you can adjust to certain idiosyncrasies of its live recording. The audience is pretty quiet, there is some stage noise from the performers (page-turning, etc.) and the dynamic range is quite wide, making it hard (for me, anyway) to find a satisfactory volume level. That being said, the performance is vigorous and compelling. The great John Shirley-Quirk is still kicking it out in really magnificent style.
