艺术家：Valery Gergiev, Mariinsky Orchestra and Chorus
From the audio point of view, this Mariinsky theater recording is a disaster:
The SACD multichannel layer front speaker's sound is almost like a mono recording; it does not spread beyond the front speaker and certainly it will not stretch wall-to-wall in front of the listener.
This is as a result of the recording taken from way too far from the stage, not even from a good balcony sit. It is like listening to a concert standing at the corridor that leads to the concert-hall.
This distanced recording does not allow the layer of depth withing the orchestral players to shine, (it is a bulk of a small block of sound) which does not allow dynamics to develop properly, certainly the whole 'shebang' written into passages of the Shostakovich score does not come to life (one wonders if the recording engineers were aware that a SACD is capable of 120 dB of dynamic, certainly they never listened to other SACD labels like Bis, or RCO - as to get an idea of what is technically available when occupying the SACD terrine...)
Occasionally on big climax and tutti, the front sound will wake-up from its slumber just a bit, but this will not raise the sound-picture into any resemblance to a good theater sound.
The rear speakers are hardly noticeable even with the ear close to the drivers (in case one was wondering if they get any signal).
The volume has to be advanced by about 6-to-9 dB forward (worse than some BIS SACD recording in that regard - but at least the Bis can through a wide sonic picture, an auditorium-like sound).
As said, from the audio point of view this is a sonic disaster; these poor Marinsky recordings are just SACD imposters, one should be well advised not to risk getting the other Marinsky recordings in that series, as they would far no better.
So, if you were looking to buy an impressive performance of Shostakovich symphonies, these will not fit the bill. Beware. 曲目列表：
