Check out this excerpt from Thomas Kiefner’s great review of our newest Shostakovich Film Music Series release on the Film Music: The Neglected Art blog:
“I have always looked forward to any release of Shostakovich film material and the five volumes offered in the last year by Delos are heavenly dessert to me! This latest volume features four films from the years (1931-1941) including a children’s opera. This CD like the previous four (review links provided) are remastered from the 1997 Russian Disc series. Russian musicians playing Shostakovich is usually the best way to listen to him and this is no exception. With further volumes on the way this series will be by far the most complete collection of Shostakovich film scores…
“This recording is well rehearsed, performed, recorded, and remastered for a pleasant listening experience. As with the other four volumes it is one to add to your collection. Recommended.” –Film Music: The Neglected Art
