"I've heard no conductor handle this music better than Järvi… These are vibrant, colourful, incisive performances of colourful, cheeky music in first-rate sound." --American Record Guide
"These big, bold, gutsy performances of some of Shostakovich’s best light music have been collected on two CDs and reissued at an attractive price, making this a very convenient way to fill in your Shostakovich collection if you have avoided Neeme Järvi’s generally excellent recordings of the symphonies until now.
In addition to the five Ballet Suites (drawn from various sources) you also get Järvi’s sizzling attack on the brilliant Festive Overture and a brutally aggressive (aptly so!) Suite from Katerina Ismailova (a.k.a. Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk).
The playing of the Scottish National Orchestra has tremendous panache (great horns, trombones, and percussion), and Chandos captures it all in brilliant, dynamic, very forceful sound. There’s no need to dwell on this in further detail: these are simply the best performances available in this music, and given the excellent value, you can purchase this set with complete confidence. A very intelligent reissue." --See more in classicstoday.com
