About

When this recording was first published in 1993 it revealed a lighter side to Shostakovich that was little-known to most music-lovers. It quickly became a best-seller and the Jazz Suites started to get regular performances in many concert halls.
"The playing here is quite superb. In fact there's little to be said about Chailly's direction other than it is good-humoured, affectionate and utterly professional; his Royal Concertgebouw players sound at home in every bar and the recording is both clean and ambient." - Gramophone
