Music reviews of Shostakovich: Ballet Suites Nos. 1-4
Music Review: A great alternative
Rating: 5 Stars
This recording is a great alternative
to Neeme Jarvi's recording of the Ballet Suites.
If you cannot buy Jarvi's try this
recording, they are very much close.
The sound is great, and the tempo is close
to that of Jarvi's. Best present alternative
to Jarvi's recording.
Description of Shostakovich: Ballet Suites Nos. 1-4
Although the symphonies, string quartets and concertos represent the core of his achievement, Shostakovich entered into the spirit of ?light music? with enjoyment and enthusiasm. The Ballet Suites, four suites of light orchestral music assembled by the composer from his stage, film and ballet scores (some, ironically, proscribed under the dictates of Soviet Realism) and prepared for publication by Lev Atovmyan in 1949, were originally intended as material for radio broadcasts and promotion through ?approved? Soviet outlets. These entertaining suites will come as a surprise to those who know Shostakovich only as a ?serious? composer.General CDs
