- Pity the Haitink version of this suite is coupled with the awful 2nd and
- 3rd symphonies... Still, it is a good recording of that suite, though the
- Jarvi version on DG with the 12th symphony and Hamlet Op. 32a suite is
- by far the better buy, in my opinion. Jarvi does the whole lot just as
- well as Haitink...

- Jarvi fans unite!! Though Haitink's 15th is by far, without doubt the
- best recording I've heard (on Decca/London). Jarvi's 15th is pretty
- dim and Maxim Shostakovich, whose 8th I liked, doesn't do so well
- either, and the recording is marred with a lot of coughing and other
- noises...
