Composition Description by Robert Cummings
The death of Josef Stalin on March 5, 1953, ushered in an era of freedom for Soviet artists. But, oddly enough, for nearly a decade following the dictator's passing, Shostakovich, one of the chief targets of Soviet censors in the past, wrote nothing of a radical or adventurous nature. In 1962, however, he broke out of his conservative shell and composed his Symphony No. 13, whose expressive language is deeper and more uncompromising than any of his then-recent compositions. Only the unwieldy Symphony No. 4, whose belated premiere took place in 1961, 25 years after its completion, is as challenging and substantive.
Even before the Symphony No. 13's premiere, Shostakovich was in trouble with the Khrushchev regime over it, though not, however, because of his music, but rather because of the texts he chose to set. The work uses five poems by Evgeny Yevtushenko, and it was the first of these in particular, "Babi Yar," from which the symphony derives its subtitle, that

An Historically Important Event , January 22, 2006
Reviewer: Grady Harp (Los Angeles, CA United States)
Odd, that despite the paucity of actual performances of this, Shostakovich's intensely felt Symphony No. 13 "Babi Yar", there are close to fifty recordings in the literature. This is a work that is difficult to 'get wrong' as the music is straight forward, immensely accessible, and seethingly melodic despite the, at times, fragile topics it surveys. Though this 'live performance reording' with Kurt Mazur conducting the New York Philharmonic and the Men of the New York Choral Artists is not the most triumphant in many ways, it does register as one of the more important available, due to the presence of poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko reciting the title poem before the symphony begins and concluding the performance with another reading of a poem not included in the symphony, 'The Lost', at the end. His resonant voice and sincerity of reading add majesty to the performance.
Shostakovich wrote this work in 1962, under the influence of Yevtushenko's newly published poem 'Babi Yar', a work that sought to awaken the Russian people (and government!) to the quasi-secret horror of 1941 when 33,000 Jews were slaughtered and buried in a mass grave in the ravine known as Babi Yar. Shostakovich was so moved by this poem that he immediately set it to music without Yevtushenko's permission, but when asked ex post facto the poet of course complied. What followed was a collaborative venture with Shostakovich selecting three other poems of the poet ad the poet writing a new poem ('Fear') expressly for the song cycle which was then to become Shostakovich's 13th Symphony. The work met resistance from the Soviet powers, nearly missing a premiere, but the 1962 performance met with passionate embrace by the audience only to have the symphony then silent for decades. It has since become a standard in the plight of Russian history and the dissolution of Communism...

Читать-то я умею. Правда, некоторые аббривиатуры не понимаю.
Точнее: wv и scans.
Ещё точнее - когдато давно вроде ты хотел приспособу какую-то слепить штоб... не помню уже, но смысл именно DSD-слой, а не PCM.

я лично никаких приспособ не собирался лепить, а SACD слой по прежнему через аналоговый трансфер могу рипать и никто еще конкретно не дал конкретных замечаний о качестве такого звука :rolleyes:

wv - WavPack codec
scans - отсканированные картинки - обложки, буклеты проще гря.

Спасибо, всем за релиз! :hi:
Я вот хотел отписать про 2+2+2 запись! Действительно очень легко и гармонично звучит. Создаётся впечатление настоящей сцены и ты в первом ряду! :punk: Только не хватает басов немного, т. к. некуда подключить БАС! Жаль что рип нельзя сделать с DSD слоя... :diablo:
