About

The first of two new recordings of light music by Shostakovich reveal him as a composer for operetta, jazz band, variety, ballet and film - he even wrote an arrangement of the Twenties hit “Tea for Two”.
 
While it should never be forgotten that Shostakovich had to write such music in order to survive in politically threatening times, it remains a fascinating and enjoyable facet to the composer’s musical personality.
