[Chandos]Shostakovich: Moscow, Cheryomushki. 2CD, 320k, pdf booklet.

For those who found Wagner is too difficult, please try this Shostakovich�s operetta. You might be surprised that Shostakovich has ever written such happy and light tones. Some even call this musical. For the details of the work, please visit the links below.

Only one complete recording done by Chandos, combined Dutch orchestra and full Russian chorus, conductd by Rozhdestvensky. I was wondering why they didn�t use a Russian Orchestra, as in many other Chandos discs. I had this pair of CDs for many years, but they are 2nd hand, no booklet. While trying to find another set with the booklet, I found it can be obtained from Chandos website. However, one language appears to be wrong codes, perhaps Russian. Rests are in French, German, most important, English. A few years ago, the old Soviet film version was also released on DVD by DECCA.

Being busy, I only upload a MP3 (320k) version, which I hope will satisfy most of you. Hope you enjoy it.

Though I am not a great fan of opera, I am very fond of mr Shostakoch’ music. Never heard this one before, so I’ll give it a try. Many thanks!

Thank you very much for sharing.

Thank-you for this, I love Shostakovich and I’d never heard of this operetta before. Is there any chance when you’re not too busy to upload a flac version?

Many thanks. The film which uses this music is well worth a watch, Soviet musicals were a rarity.

I’ve always been impressed with the Chandos series of classical titles. High informative scans and high quality sound. And the link still works.
