Description: First releases in any format of the Shostakovich and the 11-minute Dobias (both performances from the year each was composed) and also of the Memorial. All but the Martinu symphony are live performances in front of an audience and, except for the Memorial, the sound quality is almost as good as in the Leipzig volume above (I suppose we can thank the Nazis for supplying tape to the Czech Radio...). 2 CDs. No texts. Czech Philharmonic Orchestra; Rafael Kubelík.
