"Undoubtedly the most accomplished among these performances are those of the Second and Fifth Symphonies. The Fifth was the earliest of the recordings to be made (October 1985) and is in many ways the most impressive. The woodwind voices are definitely better projected; the strings sound fuller and marginally more immediate. I might single out the first movement's climactic processional with low brass and heavy percussion weighing-in to thrilling effect: all the more effective for the sense of purpose and cogency that Rostropovich achieves in this movement-indeed the whole symphony."
