Russian State SO, Dmitry Yablonsky - Shostakovich: Jazz Suites & The Bolt (2002) [Reissue 2005] MCH SACD ISO + DSD64 + FLAC

Although the symphonies, string quartets and concertos represent the core of his 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 and concludes with his orchestration of Tea for 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".

Although symphonies, string quartets and concertos represent the core of his achievement, Shostakovich had wide sympathies across the musical spectrum: hence his oft-repeated comment that he enjoyed all music from Bach to Offenbach. All of the works on this 2002 album will come as a surprise to those who know Shostakovich only as a concert composer in the Beethovenian tradition. Shostakovich’s three ballet scores belong to his early radical years, roughly 1926 to 1934, when he was working in a variety of media while, perhaps not altogether consciously, avoiding the symphonic domain he was later to make his own. After the short-lived success of his first ballet The Golden Age in 1930, he completed its follow-up, The Bolt, less than six months later. The Bolt closed after only a handful of performances, and was never revived as such in the composer’s lifetime. Shostakovich did not attempt a specifically jazz-oriented work until 1934, when he entered a competition in Leningrad whose aim was to elevate jazz from café music to a more serious status. The three-movement Jazz Suite No. 1 achieves this with deft precision. A second Jazz Suite followed in 1938, but the score was lost during World War Two. It was not to be heard again until 2000.
