Shostakovich: Music Fo... - Various Artists - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

Shostakovich composed music for film throughout his life, from his teenage years as a pianist accompanying silent films in Leningrad until the early 1970s. New Babylon provoked a political and artistic storm upon its release in 1929 but remains one of Shostakovich’s finest film scores, performed here complete and uncut. Popular favourites The Gadfly and Hamlet are heard in premiere recordings of the complete scores. Also included is the music for Alone, The Girlfriends, Love and Hate and The Fall of Berlin in premiere recordings that have garnered international critical acclaim.
