I voted good, others are better, best...Andris Nelsons and Haitink .

 

Thank you, HansZimmer. I believe this is a very good record.

 

Superb. Stunning debut symphony. But it doesn't play itself; it requires real conducting and a highly skilled orchestra. Bernstein, Ormandy. Kondrashin is great, too bad the sound isn't.

 

My personal favorite is the BIS recording of the first 3. With Mark Wigglesworth conducting the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic. I own the Hi-Res download in surround sound, which enhances the listening experience.

 

I have the Ormandy recording which is excellent, as is Shosty's 1st symphony.

 

Excellent symphony. I have the Bernstein and Ormandy recordings - both are terrific.

 

How do you rate this piece and what are the best recordings?

Excellent piece!! a great First Symphony....
my favorite recording is Bernstein/Chicago, coupled with the cosmic #7 "Leningrad" on DG...great stuff...
