Eugene Ormandy led the Western premier of the Baba Yar Symphony in 1970, recording the work with
baritone Tom Krause, whose deep resonance suits the bleak poetry by Yevtushenko. Ormandy always had
great success in Philadelphia with the large scores of Mahler and Shostakovich. One local critic put the
Ormandy performance in perspective: “Babi Yar" is a dark piece, the poems’ dealing with oppression of
people. Tom Krause is the soloist. His baritone voice had darkened by this time, and his projection of text is
incredible. The Mendelssohn Club give their support with equal involvement. RCA's sound was really
marvelous analog sound, digital still a few years away. Never mind other conductors in this piece. They are
good, but the involvement and sustained tension found in Ormandy carry this recording to the top of the
few rival interpretations. And to think, it was the rst stateside release of this symphony by anyone.
