Jazz Suites Nos. 1 and 2 - Importado

DMITRI SHOSTAKOVICH (1906-1975) & RUSSIAN SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA & DMITRY YABLONSKY   

Although the symphonies, strings quartets and concertos represent the core of this achievement, Shostakovich had wide sympathies across the musical spectrum: hence his oft-repeated comment that he enjoyed all music from Bach to Offenbach. All the works on this disc - which opens with a suite from the ballet "The Bolt" (the scenario of a industrial espionage is a pretext for music drawing on circus-like farce) and concludes with his orchestration of "Tea fir Two" - attest to a composer who entered into the spirit of light music with enjoyment and enthusiasm. The so-called "Jazz Suite No. 2" (sketches for the original "Jazz Suite No. 2" have only recently been discovered) is in fact the "Suite for Stage variety Orchestra", drawn from various ballet, film and theatres scores, with saxophones and accordion to the fore. The "second Waltz", recently found popularity as the title music for Stanley Kubrick´s last film, "Eyes Wide Shut".
