Description

"The Jazz Suites show a light-hearted Shostakovich at his witty best, with the composer’s ironic tang adding a piquant spice. Likewise, the dances from The Bolt, not quite so inconsequential, but just as enjoyable, have an edge, which makes Shostakovich I popular mode so enticing. Yablonsky directs enjoyable, straightforward accounts of these works. Chailly’s account of The Bolt Suite on Decca is obviously superior, but that said, this CD is still good value, especially at its super-bargain price, and the inclusion of Shostakovich’s arrangement of ‘Tea for Two’ as the Tahiti trot is a real bonus." (Penguin Guide, January 2009)
