Waltzes

Review You won't find any Shostakovich collection around like this one, even though most, if not all, of these selections have been recorded before as part of the ballet suites or film scores. So if the music appeals to you, this disc won't let you down. Delos offers stunning sound. -- All Music Guide Still another side of this prodigious composer is shown in Shostakovich Waltzes, featuring the Moscow Chamber Orchestra in 21 waltzes, polkas and galops. These impish pieces are drawn from various sources and are absolutely delightful, especially an orchestration of Vincent Youmans' `Tea for Two' that Shostakovich for some reason relabeled `Tahiti Trot. -- Parade Magazine
