Music reviews of Shostakovich: Concertos; Orchestral Suites; Chamber Symphonies [Box Set]

Music Review: A Mixed Bag of Shostakovich Offerings
Rating: 3 Stars

For those who love Shostakovich, this 9 disk set appears to be the definitive collection of his lesser know music with piano concertos thrown in for good measure. Like most collections of this sort, the performances are somewhat uneven. Some performances are excellent. Others are quite ordinary. But this is a good set for those who wish to break away from Shostakovich's symphonies and sample other pieces this great composer gifted to us.

The major drawback in the set are the physical arrangement of the tracks. The first of the nine disks begin with a Jazz Suite, followed by Piano Concerto No. 1, followed by another Jazz Suite. But I still find it difficult to understand why the producers sandwiched a major piano concerto between two more frivolous works. This disk concludes with the satirical Tea for Two orchestration titled "Tahiti Trot," which to me only has interest in how it came into being as a bet.

There are a couple of suites from various stage or film music: We get two of them in two different versions. These are spaced among other works so one doesn't have to hear two versions back to back, but it might have been more interesting to hear them back to back for comparison.

Then we get "The Execution of Steven Razin" shortly after the Songs of the Forest. To me these make strange disk fellows even though both are vocal works.

It was this collection, however, that introduced me to the Shostakovich chamber orchestral works which then led me to Shostakovich's string quartets. I admit that I now primarily listen only the the string quartets, I do fall back on their chamber orchestra incarnations. The chamber orchestra works alone make the set a good buy. I can live with what I believe to be sloppy production decisions on the order of the tracks.

Now that this set is available in MP3 format, I would recommend you listen to the pieces and develop your own playlists as I have done. I find that many works I never listen to. Others I listen to quite often.

Given these drawbacks, the set is still worth while. Listen and enjoy, but expect some whiplash as the producers jerk you along.
