Historical masterpieces are also included. Original jacket design. All with commentary (lyrics for vocal pieces are accompanied by bilingual lyrics). Total 100 items released! This is a coupling of representative works by two of the greatest composers of 20th century Russia (former Soviet Union). Shostakovich conducted the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra in his prime, when Sukrovachevsky, who was also a composer, was the orchestra's permanent conductor. The recording attracted much attention for its intelligent grasp of the music and powerful, true-to-life performance by Shostakovich, who was actively engaged in contemporary music at the time. Dorati, who also gained fame as a ballet music specialist, conducted the London Symphony Orchestra in the lucid and dynamic "Gaine".
