CD Reviews

Well worth the price

Mason R. Malone | Gainesville, FL | 11/13/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Decca has put together a great collection with this box set. Although I haven't heard any other recordings of Shostakovich's songs to compare with, all the performances seem top-notch to me. Jarvi in particular does a fantastic job conducting the "Suite on Verses of Michelangelo" and "From Jewish Folk Poetry". Personally, I prefer Rostropovich's reading of "Lady Macbeth" over Chung's, but Chung's version is certainly not without its merits. Finally, the liner notes are very detailed with complete texts and English translations of all the works performed. At ~$25, you really can't get a better deal on Shostakovich's music at Amazon."
