I already have Neeme Järvi's Shostakovich 5 and 10, so I decided to get his recording of no.4. Most reviews praise it very highly and mention its no holds barred approach. I can hear what they mean, but my problem is that my first exposure to this amazing symphony was the Rudolf Barshai recording on Brilliant, and that has spolled every other recording I have ever heard since. The biggest difference between Barshai and Järvi for me is in the rhythms. Järvi seems quite slack rhythmically compared to the tautness and snap of Barshai, and this really struck me. For someone new to this work, the Järvi is a great choice, but I feel like I have heard the real thing with Barshai, and I just can't get it out of my head, nor do I want to!
