And speaking of Eschenbach, his new recording of Shostakovich 5 with the Philadelphia Orchestra will be released March 11 (Ondine). I haven't heard it yet, but of all the electronic artifacts of Eschenbach's short era, this might be the one everyone should own. A Shostakovich 5th with Eschenbach and the Philadelphia in Carnegie Hall is still remembered as an incredibly unified, red-hot interpretation. Other performances of it have been almost universally loved.
A review of the new CD will appear in The Inquirer shortly. If you can't wait until March 11 to get it, check the gift shop in the Kimmel Center, where it could be available as soon as Feb. 28.

Any news on what's up with other recordings in the can: Mahler 2, Mahler 4, and Tchaikovsky 6 (I think the latter two should stay in the can forever)?
