Info zu Howard Griffiths: Dmitri Shostakovich, Jazz Suite No 2

Dmitri Schostakowitsch war einer der produktivsten und vielseitigsten Komponisten des 20. Jahrhunderts. In Fragen des musikalischen Geschmacks scheute er sich nie, Gebrauchs- und Unterhaltungsmusik zu schreiben. In all seinen Kompositionen kamen sein einzigartiges Gespür und die Fähigkeit zum Tragen, Groteske und Persiflage mit einfachen Formen zum Ausdruck zu bringen. Die vorliegende Aufnahme stellt diese besondere Fähigkeit Schostakowitschs eindrucksvoll unter Beweis. Die Suite für Varieté-Orchester (»Jazz Suite Nr. 2«), das Konzert für Klavier, Trompete und Streichorchester op. 35, und Das Goldene Zeitalter ergeben eine mitreißend-packende Mischung verschiedener Stilrichtungen: Klavierkonzert, Jazz und Varieté-Musik, gespickt mit Parodie, musikalischem Witz und fulminanter Virtuosität.

Die beiden jungen Solisten, der Pianist Antonii Baryshevskyi und der Trompeter Romain Leleu agieren souverän und mit technischer Brlllanz. Die Hörer erwartet eine energiegeladene und abwechslungsreiche Interpretation dieser drei handverlesenen Werke Schostakowitschs mit dem Brandenburgischen Staatsorchester unter der inspirierten Leitung von Howard Griffiths.
