Shostakovich Edition Brilliant Classics

Nagrania muzyczneMuzyka poważna

Dmitri Shostakovich was the chronicler, the poet in music, of Soviet Russia: from its bright and optimistic inception as enshrined in his First Symphony, through the gradual alienation experienced by genuinely creative figures within Stalin's regime, to which the suppressed Fourth Symphony and opera Lady Macbeth bear powerful witness, to the pressure to conform and supply music that buttressed the regime's ideals, such as patriotic symphonies and sturdy choral works; finally, to a late, disenchanted rapprochement between individual and state that allowed the elderly composer to retreat from the provision of public work and increasingly to focus his undimmed creative powers on a series of string quartets and song cycles which reinforce, through often cynical and sarcastic expression, the need for a man to retain his own identity and self-respect in the face of overwhelming opposition.All these facets of the man and his music -- rarely has there been a composer in whom the two were so indivisible -- are evident from this remarkable collection, the most complete available. All the symphonies and string quartets are here, of course, and the symphonies in particular enjoy the advocacy of special eloquence granted by the leadership of Rudolf Barshai, one of Shostakovich's most trusted intimates and performers. So too, however, are there rarities galore: English folksong settings; unpublished operas; occasional festivities for orchestra; forgotten movie soundtracks.The majority of performers and performances are Russian in origin, including the famous, unparalleled recording of Lady Macbeth sung by Galina Vishnevskaya and conducted by her husband, Mstislav Rostropovich. David Oistrakh is another dedicatee who brings unique authority to the concertos (violin, in this case). There's even a cameo from Shostakovich himself -- who was a superb pianist, as can be heard from this disc of concertos and solo works.Other information:- The most comprehensive Shostakovich Edition ever produced!- Shostakovich, one of Soviet Russia's most famous and fascinating composers, struggled his whole life with the restrictions and demands of the Stalin regime. This however didn't smother his creativity, on the contrary, it produced a unique ambiguity in his music, a fusion of the trivial and the profound, masquerade and intimate truth, of noise and contemplation, in short, a fusion of all the bizarre elements of life itself.- This set presents the near complete works of Shostakovich:Complete symphonies, chamber symphonies, concertos, songs, string quartets, a generous selection chamber music, ballets and suites (the famous Jazz suites!), cantatas, and the operas.- Famous and legendary performers include Rudolf Barshai (a close friend of Shostakovich), Cristina Ortiz, Moscow Symphony Orchestra, Valery Polyansky,Victor Popov, Theodore Kuchar, Muza Rubackyte, Yuri Serov, Bolshoi Theatre Orchestra, Andrey Chistiakov and Mstislav Rostropovich.- Includes unique historical recordings, featuring Dmitri Shostakovich performing on the piano.CD 1- 11: SymphoniesCD 12-13: Chamber SymphoniesCD 14-16: ConcertosCD 17-21: String QuartetsCD 22: Piano QuintetCD 23-24 - SonatasCD 25-27: Works for solo pianiCD 28-32: SongsCD 33: Suite, Six RomancesCD 34: Choral WorksCD 35-37: Jazz Suites, Film Suites, Ballet SuitesCD 38-43: Film ScoresCD 44: The Lady and the HooliganCD 45 Rotschild's ViolinCD 46 The GamblersCD 47-48 Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk DistrictCD 49 Historical recordings

Shostakovich: Jazz & Ballet Suites, Film Music Brilliant Classics

Nagrania muzyczneMuzyka poważna

After releasing the highly successful sets of Shostakovich symphonies (the award-winning cycle of Rudolf Barshai) and the string quartets ( highly acclaimed performances of the Rubio Quartet), this set presents the Jazz Suites, Ballet Suites and Film Music.Shostakovich lived a live full of tension and controverses in the Stalin era. As a "modernist" he was reprimanded and threatened to be banned. As a sign of "good behaviour" he wrote music for mass audiences, in a "popular" style. But Shostakovich being Shostakovich, he managed to suggest under the surface of the sometimes nearly vulgar music his unique sense of bitter irony and revolt.The Jazz suites enjoy a huge popularity. The "Second Waltz" from the first Suite gained world reputation through the arrangement of Andre Rieu. The film music for the Gadfly is famous fir its Romance, which was used in a popular television series.Excellent, idiomatic performances ( new recordings!) by the Ukrainian Orchestra under Theodore Kuchar, who have a reputation to lose in this repertoire, because of their vast discography for Naxos.
