Shostakovich: Symphony No. 1, Jean Martinon/London S.O., 1957 repaired

The Kingsway Hall rumble was very strong with this one. Nothing wrong here in the musical sense, on the contrary. The symphony was Shostakovich's graduation work from Petrograd (=St. Petersburg) conservatory, first performed in the public when the composer was just 19. https://houstonsymphony.org/32484-2/ 0:01 Allegretto — Allegro non troppo 8:48 Allegro — Meno mosso — Allegro — Meno mosso 13:36 Lento — Largo — Lento (attacca:) 22:22 Allegro molto — Lento — Allegro molto — Meno mosso — Allegro molto — Molto meno mosso — Adagio
