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 for its Romance, which was used in a popular television series.
Excellent, idiomatic performances by the Ukrainian Orchestra under Theodore Kuchar.

absolutely beautiful!
Yes it is! We have another album of Shostakovich on our Brilliant Classics Channel.
You can check it here: th-cam.com/video/qSLp3iGkoKc/w-d-xo.html
Think you would like that too! Greetings
@@BrilliantClassics Do you have the works of Jean Sibelius?
I can't get over the wonderful blend of Johann Strauss, jazz, circus-like feel, Hispanic dancelike quality, and an almost-Sousa march-like quality to this music.
It is obvious his experience as a silent movie pianist gave him a universality of expression.
He learned to balance "music as dramatic statement" and "music as entertainment" in his compositions and this came from his silent movie pianist experience.
As much as we hate what his government did to him, in learning to cope with their demands Shostie dabbled in the people's music and this actually enriched his music.
The glory of his 5th Symphony is its approachability.
If we look at his 4th Symphony, we know the direction Shostie might have taken his symphonies: into an abstract, dissonant, and almost mathematical kind of music.
Actually his Symphonies are amazingly approachable and their movie-music slant are the parts that make him so accessible.
Shostakovich is an amazingly diverse composer and there will never be anyone quite like him in the history of music.
There's one pair of composers here on youtube that i admire for their diversity, actually they're not long-form writers, more a short form/one song at a wonder format, but... the feichter brothers turn out gold in as many styles and mediums as can be found. its kind of incredible how they're able to do so MUCH in a variety and have it turn out listenable, all of it hope that helps.
@@SilverKnightm2138 Thank you!
Listening to all these well-composed masterpieces, I cannot but feel Shostakovich was truly the most important composer in all aspects of the 20th century classical music. Simply wonderful!
Shostakovich at his lightest and still being so profound. Shostakovich, Beethoven, Frank Zappa, in no matter what order!
Очень благодарна Вам за возможность послушать замечательную классическую музыку! С Новогодними праздниками!
The richness of this production touches nerves and soul, speaking to the inner depths of the "who I am".
Three hours of Shostakovich? Heck yeah!
Очень благодарна Вам за присланные записи музыкальных шедевров! С Новогодними праздниками!
Shostakovich is to me a great composer, because he was like no other. He was unique, melodious but quirky. Other "good" composers remind me of great composers, but they are reminders, not unique. Such is the lovely music of young Alma Deutscher. I hope she develops her own musical signature as she grows. For now, she reminds me of Schubert and Haydn, not bad as influence.
I love the fact that Dmitri Shostakovich composed this music in private away from Stalin's scrutiny. Shostakovich was Stalin's choice as the main composer of music in the Soviet Union, yet the composer was privately in love with the freedom found within Jazz and had a true love of football (soccer as it's known in the U.S.).
I think that Dmitri Shostakovich is the greatest composer of the 20th century.
Thanks! Incredible music, excellent fidelity! Especially appreciate the track listings and quick access to a particular piece of music! (saves time hunting the upload)
I love this! Boost my mood immediately!
💖amazing💖
Shostakovich!!!
thank youuuu 😊
This is great homework music. Always keeps me in a good mood 😄
Jazz suite No.2, Waltz No.2, I haven't heard anything about how Shostakovich became inspired to do this particular number. But, in spite of the Soviet Union when it was in existence, whatever inspired him to come up with this, it became one of my favorites upon my first hearing of it. Especially when learning of when it came about.
This is amazing post. Thank you. Love all his ballets.
Many Thanks for the Upload!!
And for bookmarking each individual piece!
I own this set, and it is one of favorites... very listenable, and well worth buying/listening... it will be appreciated! Recommend it highly!
Fantástico! Este hombre fue sobresaliente aún en un género que no le era tan natural.
Why so few reviews for this one ? Sparkling music so far, more to come ,,,,,,,,,
Thanks for uploading!

Superb.
Brilliant Classics has put up some wonderful work of this composer, Great. If you could put some piano works of Shostakovich would be great, top 50
00:59:04 The Bolt, Ballet Suite, Op. 27a: Variation
Hermosa obra
Awesome
42:16 should be my alarm clock tone
Estupendo
00:38:21 Jazz Suite No. 1: Foxtrot
я восхищаюсь !
01:42:04 The Golden Age, Ballet Suite, Op. 22a: Polka
8:15 BIUTIFUL SONG
Bravo
In my book his Festive Overture is one of the greatest overtures ever composed.
Why isn't it played more often by orchestras????
Themes are glorious and triumphant.
Instrumental groupings are stupendous.
Music is gloriously dramatic, heart-touching, and varied.
Shostie outdid himself with this overture.
Conductors are blind, deaf, and dumb.
I have never heard it played at any San Francisco Symphony concert.
Come on now! This is just stupid!!!!
@Broomfield Eric Sadly enough, you are right, although copyright came to Soviet Union about 3-4 years after Shostakovich's death. Even more surprising, the rights to Shostakovich works belong to some German company, which has absolutely no connection with his living relatives. That's just dishonest, I believe -- to prohibit people to touch and savour ones of the greatest pieces of art of XX-th century.
the suite no. 2 starting at 18:41, the one which became my favorite. (forgot to mention this earlier.)
Is it just me or the scene before the finale of Gadfly feels REALLY inspired by Swan's Lake finale?! ^^
I knew I recognized it from somewhere!
*an interesting collection of popular favorites*
_from a 20th century classical giant!_ #shostakovitch
2:38:25 what a masterpiece
Introduction has to be my favorite from the Gadfly suite, but I absolutely adore Romance! Especially the part at 2:39:32 when the buildup climaxes. I've never experienced that sort of emotion in any piece of music before! Just that one simple chord can create such a strong emotion. Especially when the brass joins in for that extra effect a couple seconds later!
And the very end is amazing when the entire orchestra joins in and plays the main theme just after the climax!
❤️❤️🙏❤️❤️
This collection is outstanding. The national symphony orchestra of the Ukraine and it's conductor did an outstanding job. This shows you what a brilliant composer Shostakovich was. A cut above the rest. Thank you so much for uploading this for all to enjoy. May God be with the people of the Ukraine and we are all praying that the war will end soon. May Putin be punished for what he has done.
How about the score to the movie ‘The Fall of Berlin.’

오늘 이 시간까지, 주님의 노여움을 사고 계시는 여러분!, 여러분의 심장을 산체로 도려내어 주님께 바치세요., 그 펄펄 뛰는 심장들을 보고 흠양 하시게요. ^^
Para mí, el MÁS GRANDE compositor del siglo XX y, de momento, del XXI, en TODOS los sentidos.
Lástima que, en la presentación de esta grabación, tengan que recurrir a la manida y FALSA persecución personal y artística de Shostakovich por STALIN. Además nunca compuso música vulgar. Ya está bien. I'm fed up!
didn't Putin have somethng to do with it?
