Free Music Notes for Shostakovich: Cheryomushki, The Bolt, The Gadfly (The Dance Album)
Free Music Review: Chailly Blows Us Away, Again!
Hit: 5 Stars
After hearing many of Shostakovich's more famous works, his symphonies, for example, I was not expecting what I found within this CD. These pieces are so much fun to listen to! They're light, energetic, amusing and full of wonderful and unforgetable melodies.
Riccardo Chailly is well known as one of the great orchestra builders of the current generation, and his work with the Philadelphia Orchestra on this recording is absolutely no exception. I can't remember the last time this particular orchestra sounded so amazing. The sound on this CD is second to none; simply blows you away. The music is fun to listen to and is just fantastic.
Out of the hundreds of classical recordings in my library, the three CDs of Shostakovich's music with Chailly are amongst my very favorites. Well worth your money!
Shostakovich: Cheryomushki, The Bolt, The Gadfly (The Dance Album) Poster
Shostakovich (1906-1975) had two distinct musical personalities: the grim alchemist of the string quartets and symphonies and the happy Soviet of his dance and film scores. These works are of the latter Shostakovich--but don't let that put you off. There is a great deal of good music here, and if some of it is ultimately trivial, who cares? Much of the frenetic dance rhythms come from the 1920s and 1930s era of Stalinist Modernism: happy workers, happy factories, happy collectives. It's still fun (and remember, even Prokofiev had it). This is an excellent recording all the way around. --Paul CookClassical Music CDs
