Shostakovich’s Suite for Jazz Orchestra No. 2, his Concerto for Piano, Trumpet, and String Orchestra (Op. 35), and The Golden Age combine to present a stirring, inspirational mix of diverse genres: piano concerto, jazz and music hall, brimming with parody, musical wit, and exuberant virtuosity. The two young soloists, pianist Antonii Baryshevskyi and trumpeter Romain Leleu, impress with their confidence and technical brilliance. Listeners can look forward to a high-energy, multifaceted performance of three hand-picked works by Shostakovich in this vivacious recording with the Brandenburgisches Staatsorchester directed by Howard Griffiths.
