Most of the music which Shostakovich used for his Ballet Suites was composed for the silent films in the early 1930ies or was re-used from early opera’s and ballets. This is a very fine transcription of the Ballet Suite nr.1 which contains six movements:
- Lyric Waltz
- Dance
- Romance
- Polka
- Waltz-Joke
- Galop
Recording: by Symphonic Wind Orchestra O&U, Beek en Donk (NL) – conducted by Jos van de Braak.
