I saw the Shostakovich; Guryakova was audible at all times from Orch S 24. Either she had a better night tonight or the quirks of Davies strike again...incredible piece, great performances (including Guryakova tonight, despite the mush-mouthed diction).

Uh, we didn't stick around for the Mussorgsky. Despite Conlon's spiel, I wasn't buying that it would sound better than trivial after the deadly serious Shostakovich, which I thought a lot more closely connected in tone to Boris than Pictures.
